Do all Rolex's have "english" inscriptions?
Do all Rolex's have "english" inscriptions?
If not, what other languages can be found on Rolex watches? |

I think that Rolex dials should state all the inscriptions in Swiss. Who says that English is the mother language of Switzerland?

Good point Sherwin, that's O.K. Rolex can choose between German or French Italian and Romansh.
Wikipedia to the rescue: "Switzerland is multilingual and has four national languages: German, French, Italian and Romansh."

so if i go to Switzerland, what language is currently understood. I have ZERO French, and a bit of German.
When I was in France, I got literally given the sh*ts when I spoke English.
