Interesting, I've been told in many ADs that they will not allow for ordering of day/date wheels in languages other than the local language.

Their solution, which is stupid imo, is "buy the watch and then send it to service where they will change the day/date wheel to the language of your choice for a fee". Both US and U.K. ADs have told me this in the last month.
Agree with you one the Chinese font, it's barely legible and I've got decent eye sight right now!

He worked for my family group since he was 16 yo and now he finally retired at 76 yo and that’s the least I can do for him for giving his 60 years long loyalty and hard work. 😊 we are v blessed to have many loyal workers in our almost century old conglome... 

Loyalty like that should be rewarded indeed!

That is what makes a company stand out to the none family owned (more soulless imo) companies.

Rolex world is full of surprises [nt]

Rolex Day-Date in platinum speaks me so loud

 
 By: dr.kol : January 6th, 2019-04:37
that I will acquire one still this year. But the day indicator can simply be in English. I will manage with that. Best, Kari

Had a chance to see one live during last Dutch GTG...amazing watch....hence

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : January 6th, 2019-04:43
one I saw had carbon bezel...now question with Pt DD is dial with or without roman numerals...my strong preference is without. Cheers D

Ica blue dial with simple indexes will be my version.

 
 By: dr.kol : January 6th, 2019-04:49
Before that I'm waiting for the delivery of a simple Rolex and two more to come... Best, Kari

Why not have both?

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : January 10th, 2019-04:28
...  

I had that too.

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : January 10th, 2019-05:54
Bought it with the index raster dial. But soon I switched to the Roman numerals. That dial added more depth/dimension to it.

Mine

Adverts liked this that I use to drool over as a child. It was my ultimate watch as a young teenager. And I am really pleased that I have one in my small collection. ...  

Superb and bravo!
