Day/Date wheel ?
Over the last 18 months looking at 4 digit DD's, it's apparent that 85% have wheel's in English. WHY ? Was the English speaking demographic Rolex's largest market ?
Compliments of Powerfunk, there are 26 different language wheels. Where are all the others ? |

What's the source on the 85% figure? I have a bunch of cool foreign language day wheels in my collection.

The English leaning is probably the same reason that most of the Internet is in English - even if you're not a native speaker, you probably have some knowledge of the basics. I'd struggle with a day disc in Arabic, for example, but someone from that part of the world would probably manage with an English disc. |

I have recently seen a Dutch, Japan, Hebrew, Chinese. Curious, what un-common wheels do you have ? Thanks Chris Zapokee : Like you I love the variations, wish there were more of them. |
