OP, you do great work. Thanks so much. For me it just makes these watches more interesting.

Called an AD and they said they can order any of these language discs including the highly desired Arabic and Chinese discs for around $100.
Not sure why the Arab and Chinese discs go for thousands of dollars on the grey market when you could just have an AD exchange them for a few hundred dollars depending on their exchange policy. Some RSC won't force you to get the watch serviced for these simple swaps. |

Is this Moroccan Arab? In French it says "Arabe Proche Orientale". The other Arab disc I found only says "Arabe"
The two scripts are clearly different. |

Not my watch but here's a Finnish disc actually inside a Day-Date, set on Saturday - they seem to be quite few and far between, I think I've seen them pop up only twice.
Cool to see all the different languages displayed in this topic. |

I teach Latin (and ancient Greek). There are a lot of people around the world that can read Latin and is a fundamental study in order to understand the evolution of the romanic languages. Even English, a germanic language, has thousands of words borrowed from Latin.
In a not so far past (until XIX century) Latin was a sort of universal language of science and research. Most of works of sir Isaac Newton or Descartes were written in Latin. By the way, today very few priests can speak or understand fluently Latin. That is the field of linguists, historians… Latin is more close to modern Spanish or Italian than Old Elglish (Anglo Saxon) is to modern English. I come from a part of Spain where Basque is spoken too. Unfortunately, I really doubt that a Day Date in Basque ever existed. |

Many believe some words' etymology is French when in fact Latin is the base. |

It's very cool that you picked a Finnish day disc, you probably won't see anyone having the same one any time soon... and it's a good way to learn the days of the week in a different language, a fairly hard language at that! |
