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

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.

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: Turkish: |

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. . . |

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?!

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!
