Italian language Day
Hello I have the chance of a vintage peice but the only thing holding me back is the day Dail is in Italian..
What are your feelings on this do I pass it by? Live with it? Or look to change it in the future Thank you |

I would happily live with it in Italian. It'd be fun!

For me that adds rarity value. Get it! I have a French 1803 and a Portugese 1802. The language variation really makes them fun.

I would like it. A little different and as others have stated, fun and imho another language adds a cool factor.

My 1803 was originally sold in France, and has a French date wheel - I find it charming, personally. As long as you know the days of the week in the other language (here in Canada every schoolboy learns at least that much French) it's no problem. Go for it!
