Just a curious question to ask those that know about how movements work.....

Could the Day wheel of a Day-Date be modified by Rolex to show the Month and move much slower so the timing is right? Producing a new model, the Date-Month.

Just a thought.

So you maor trouble to keeps the month in track than the day?

IMHO that model wil not be a hit.

Well, there is talk on a calendar function for the DD. It would look a little like the sky dweller where a red mark would be behind the hour markers and that would indicated the month. While still keeping the day and date function on the watch.

A Day Date like this

Better off getting a Sky-Dweller as it's very hard to determine whether a month has 28, 29, 30, or 31 days without more complications other than changing the ratio of a gear.

My biggest wish was that they replace the 24 hour dial on the SkyDweller with a day of the week. Oh well.......

Do you know that all Rolex with a rotating bezel can be used as an annual calendar :) I just rotate the arrow to whatever month (1-12) that Im in :P only need to do it once per month.

Absolutely. You can add gmt too. Just bring it to the rolex ad and ask them to trade it for a sky dweller.
