Well I doubt if they would change for free,I would wait till service is due have it changed then as they have to strip watch down to service.

thanks mate

[yuan2211]

does anyone have a idea of what il be charged???

[Keith1]

Give them a call. It will not be free as you need to purchase a new day wheel, plus labor to switch it out. They will keep the old day wheel btw.

Would it be more cost efficient to learn Italian?

I love it!

I actually think you should leave the original watch as is, and appreciate the beauty of the language you otherwise wouldn't come across.

RSC would not to that to your YM as the red date wheel is not a factory option for that model. You'd have to find an independent watch maker to do this, and source the red date wheel yourself.

[zama]

I go with leaving it in Italian....... I note you have not made a lot of posts, you may get stunning when you see what Rolex charge for it. You indicate you got new, is that new to you or factory fresh new, to the comments above a service should be considered around 7 years old, that would be the best time to get it done when the watch is already pulled down. As a stand lone exercise it could be a few hundred dollars.

I say change it to English and pay whatever it damn well costs, Britannia didn't rule over a quarter of the globe by accepting Italian datewheels, old chap.

Wasn't Britannia a Roman province once?

Yes. And when the Romans left, the islanders couldn't make bricks or windows for almost a THOUSAND YEARS. Having said that . . . Thank God for Brittan.

If I had a DD with an Italian wheel, I'd keep it (and make up a really cool story of how I saved a young maiden after she fell off a yacht in Monaco and her dad gave me his watch as thanks. Or something like that).

Italian is one thing but we threw them out once they tried to put in Latin datewheels.

Funny you should mention it but there is a Latin date wheel.

Damn right!

If you're going to a day-wheel, consider an Australian day-wheel

Mundy Tuesdy, Humpday, Payday!, Poets, WooHoo!, and killmenow.

jeez I'm overwhelmed guys.
to be totally honest I don't have the hours needed to learn a new language though i wish i did.
on one side I'm thinking of leaving it till service time but on the other side i need to be able to tell what day it is buy using my left wrist.
i will see how costly it is then decide on the fate of the roman day wheel. i could afford up to a few hundred pounds but anymore and il leave it.
it was a totally new factory wrapped watch from a shop in london but they sourced it from italy is my understanding correct me if I'm wrong. would you be able to buy a watch in london from a ad with the days in italian?
I'm going to try the saving cinderella story thats a good one.

if i did go ahead with the change would it weaken any thing or would it stay good as new. might sound weird but please understand I'm a novice here and Im hoping that you guys and girls can help me knowledge myself about watches. the closet i owned to a dd2 was a casio databank when i was around 12.

thank you again people

Keith1 already said it, but it's SOOOOO important, it bears repeating: RSC WILL KEEP YOUR OLD DATEWHEEL (!!!!) if you send it to THEM to replace it.

FYI (and thx to Keith1)

[THC]

Didn't you see the foreign language when you purchased it? Hopefully you got a great deal and the switch expense is nominal, but nothing with Rolex is nominal.... Lol

practice once a day ,,, use a visual aid to help , and you will soon pick up the lingo ,,,
after all its not arabic , now that would be a learning curve.

[yuan2211]

The day was something I didn't notice but not that fussed as it was fairly cheap. Probably know my days in Italian by the end of the year lol

Since you got a good deal, call the RSC in London and ask them how much to switch it out.

[maxbaris]

Free? The only thing free at the RSC is the estimates. That's about it.
