On the Rolex site, it says that the DD comes in 26 different languages. I tried a google search to find what the languages were but was unsuccessful. Does anyone know what, besides english, the languages are? Also, is it possible to purchase a DD/DDII in another language while in the US or does one have to go to a different part of the globe which depends on the language one wishes?

Still learning and appreciate this forum.

Thought I would bump this for the afternoon crowd. Hope that is okay.

Anyone?

I have seen once, I do not remember if it was in a post in here or elsewhere, a photo of the day-disks with all the languages provided, in a "parts" form.

Except the normal and common English, French, German, Italian, etc. they supply Chinese, Japanese, and even Greek !! Mind you that it is only ONE language at the time per disk, contrary to SEIKO or other makes that they supply TWO languages in any of their watches.

As this is only a disk, like the date disk and of similar size, I would think that you could just order it via a AD and when received you change it.

In person, I have seen only the English and German editions, and in various adverts some other languages. Do not forget that the DD is targeting "rich" customers, so the service must be excellent

I've only actually SEEN in person an Arabic one, though I know others exist.

In Japan I have never seen a Japanese DD
