    Tudor Prince Date+Day Day Wheel

    Hi all! This is my first new thread, had a look and couldn't find anything specific.

    I'm wondering if anyone knows how many different languages the Prince Date+Day Day wheel was produced in?

    Off the back of that, I'm really close to pulling the trigger on a PDD and a couple of the options have foreign day wheels. I have Greek Cypriot heritage so would love a Greek day wheel although I've never seen one and assume these weren't produced? Failing that, I can pick one up in Spanish or Italian easily enough but can't find anywhere online that will tell me how easy/costly it would be to swap out the Day wheel for an English one. Anyone with any experience of this who can advise, I'd be very grateful!

    Here's an example:

    I have some experience of this, as I bought a D+D with a German date wheel online, as I liked the rare-ish colour dial. The day wheel is a generic enough ETA part, but you have to be careful what diameter it is, so that the text is centred in the day cut-out. I think the measurement was 28.4mm.

    In the end I asked Brendan (webwatchmaker) to source one as part of a service. The part itself is cheap, the cost to fit depends on your watchmaker.

    I have not seen a Greek day disc before, but I am sure there are custom items out there. I think the Arabic ones are aftermarket.

    I'm pretty sure that my dial restorer could print a Greek disc.

    Thanks a lot carryondentist! That is really very helpful. I think on reflection I'd rather get a genuine English Day wheel.

    Webwatchmaker - I will get in touch once I've picked up the watch, I have a shortlist just now so need to pull the trigger on one! Thanks for replying.

    I'm looking for a broken Reverso if anyone has one.
