just for example here are some papers for many different markets , all printed in a language that makes them different from the standard configuration :

1) 1655- case range 3.50 for Mexico , paper in french language :



2) 1675-case range 2.94 sold in a US Navy PX , paper in french :



3) gold datejust sold to Curacao , paper in french :



4) 1665 with special dial for Bucherer ( Switzerland ) with paper in english :
