I was just musing on the dials and the writing on them, the different fonts and so forth, and it dawned on me that every Rolex I have ever seen has dials only printed in English.

As these watches are international I would think that Rolex would use Japanese, Russian, Chinese and other languages when targeting these countries.

Does anyone know if they ever printed dials in other languages?

I have one that says 'Folex', does that count?

The day in the Day-Date comes in different languages, doesn't it?

I believe that you can get the day wheel in different languages for the Day-Date. But I'm not sure about the dials. I'd guess "No," as that would really add to production costs.

PS- Does anybody know how many different languages the day wheel is available in. Thanks!

Are you saying that the datewheel is in roman numerals, or just markers on the dial?

Also, of the 26 languages that the day wheel is offered in, does anybody have the definitive list of what those languages are?
