1803 Day Disc help needed!!!

Right - So I have a 1803 Day-Date with italian day disc. I the porceeded to buy an english day-disc thinking they were all compatible.... Apprently they are not, hence the misplacement in the picture.

I have now found one suited for the ref 18038 and 18238 - But will that fit an older ref 1803?????

Hope for some assistance here

I don't think it will. Here are pics from an official parts manual. 1555/1556 movement uses the same day disc, while 3055 uses a different one. They appear subtly different, but maybe a more technical person will chime in to say if they're in fact interchangeable?





18038 movement:

The 1803 day disc is different than the 18038 and not interchangeable.
