Day-Date 6611b date wheel question

I’m seeking a white date wheel for my Day-Date 6611b, to match (what I believe to be) my current, correct white day wheel.

Are the date wheels for the Day-Date 6611b interchangeable with those for the Day-Date 1803? Specifically, would an 1803 date wheel work in a 6611b?

I have noted a part number for a white DD date wheel, #8017, but I’m not certain for which reference(s) that part is correct. If part #8017 is not the correct date wheel for a 6611b, does anyone know the correct part number for it?

Finally - Any quirks I should know about in seeking a 6611b white date wheel? E.g., I assume it should have the “open” 6, 9, 16, & 19 - What about 26 & 29? Anything else I should know, perhaps as to the font or serifs, etc.?

Thanks in advance - The denizens of the Vintage Forum are always so generous with your time and expertise.

I think it would be one thing is you were asking about an 1803, 18038 or 18238, etc which are much more common references, but the 6611b people arent as familiar with when it comes to the small nuances of the particular wheels.

It may be a bit longer for someone to respond that knows about the 6611b in detail.

Well the 6611b uses a different movement so likely it will not fit.. Otherwise the parts would have it referred as available for replacement, i.e., 1803 and 6611b..
