Day-Date, Day Indicator Languages, w/ pics!

Everyone knows that the Day-Date spells out the day of the week in full and that the day indicator is available in 26 languages. Trying to collect a picture of all 26 day wheels. Please help if you can! I have a 18238 so I was looking for wheels for the 3155 movement, but I won't discriminate against the other movements! Thanks, c

3155-171xx is a champagne-colored indicator
3155-172xx is a silver-colored indicator
3155-175xx is a pink-colored indicator

You'll find pictures of these attached:
3155-17101 English
3155-17102 Spanish
3155-17104 Italian
3155-17205 German
3155-17122 Dutch
3155-17124 Russian
Catalan
Arabic (part B5135-110-K1?)
Chinese
French (part 5135-203 pictured, I think)

Missing both model number and photos of these.
Danish
Basque
Ethiopian
Finnish
Greek
Hebrew
Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia)
Japanese
Latin
Moroccan Arabic
Norwegian
Farsi (Persian)
Polish
Portuguese
Swedish

Latin, but this looks to be a wheel for the 18038...

Not sure if these are genuine, but I did find these on Chrono24. Looks pretty cool!

In real life I've only ever seen Day-Dates in Spanish, French, English, German, and Portuguese. I've heard that Chinese is one of the Day-Date languages, but, I've never seen one in person so I couldn't say if those pics from Chrono24 are of a real Chinese-language Day-Date or not. Never been to China though. Maybe they're plentiful in the ADs over there.

I have nothing to contribute, since mine are both English wheels. I just wanted to say that I think this is a very cool project.

The output will be neat for us to see, and I bet the hunt is fun for you.

Good luck!

Funny that the language is written in french on the hidden part of the disc. Easier for the Rolex folks to work with! I’m surprised there’s a disc in Catalan! Nice touch for them.

Nice find, thanks for sharing your project.

Don’t know if these are genuine, but I’ve got to say the date wheel text looks pretty bad—it’s almost like a five year old tried to hand write it... It’d throw me off if I owned the watch and try to read the date.

I know this thread is old but for archival purposes I thought I'd help with the pictures you can't find. Sorry I can't help with model numbers.

I too am unable to find Basque, Ethiopian, Finnish, Greek, or Moroccan Arabic.

Danish is the same as Norwegian (their days are literally identical):


Hebrew:


Indonesian:


Japanese:


Latin:


Polish:


Portuguese:


Swedish:


And I've only seen screenshots-of-a-screenshot of Turkish and Ethiopian.

Ethiopian:

Here’s another color, on a 18058 from the November Phillips auction - I assume it’s genuine, given Phillips and the recent RSC service.

Rolex should definitely offer these black wheels. They’d look great with lots of dials, especially an onyx.

That rainbow bezel is insane! Wow. Are you sure that's a black background though? This 18058 has a blue day/date wheel:



And here's the burgundy equivalent while we're at it

Those ruby and sapphire DD with the matching day/date-wheels. Incredibly fabulous.
Maybe there's a green wheel variant too for emerald bezels or dials?!

Basque
Finnish
Greek
Moroccan Arabic
Farsi (Persian)

These are so cool! Chinese is my native language and although I don't personally dig the Chinese fonts aesthetically, I've gotta say it is rather unique and I don't think I've seen that type of Chinese fonts elsewhere, they look really nostalgic, vintage and hand written, cool stuff!
