I would love to find a Thai or Hindi day wheel. I've literally never seen them before.

 

I know the comment is 4 years old, but the Hindi wheel does exist.

I think most of the combinations are covered here but TBH I've never heard of a Korean day wheel.

 

Neither have I. Googling for it hasn't gotten me anything. The day I started this thread, I only found a "Korean edition" Seiko up for auction on *Bay, but no evidence of a different day wheel; the minutes hand covered 3:00

Maybe Chinese would be the closest I could get:
zKorean - Days of the Week

The days of the week in Korean are derived from Chinese characters, with each day of the week named after an element of nature.

Sunday	일요일 (Chinese for 일 = 日 - sun)
Monday	월요일 (月 - moon)
Tuesday	화요일 (火 - fire)
Wednesday	수요일 (水 - water)
Thursday	목요일 (木 - wood)
Friday	금요일 (金 - gold)
Saturday	토요일 (土 - earth (soil))

 

Sorry to bump a somewhat oldish thread, i have a Spanish day wheel from a 7546 so they are infact available. It's all black with the red sunday and other days in white.

 

I just received a new baby tuna from a seller in Singapore and the day wheel has 2 languages, English and ???. Can someone tell me what the 2nd language is. Also, has anyone else seen a dual language day wheel like this on a seiko prospex?

That appears to be Arabic sir.

 

This post is very helpful thank you

 

My orange Nemo is Roman. I was going to switch it over to Kanji but decided to keep it Roman, it really is kind of different now that I can reflect on it's originality.

 

I have one which I bought in New Zealand with English and Spanish. Do they all have more than one language?

I seems an interesting choice for the New Zealand market because we have relatively few Spanish speakers.

No, I've an Italian-only watch from the 70s. Though, in the modern world of truly global commerce, I would be surprised to find a single-language day wheel in a current production watch.

Which ones of these came standard on the SKX? I've seen English, French, Arabic, and Roman... I don't think I've seen Chinese, and I'm pretty sure Kanji was not an option since they didn't have official distribution in Japan.

 

Don't know about SKX specifically, but the line up does include both Chinese and Japanese (Kanji).

These are both in traditional Chinese characters (Kanji); but Chinese weekday names are different from Japanese.

 

For Seikos, i have Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Roman.

Hunting for a Thai. I’ve seen a picture in another forum.

 

There is also Farsi (Iranian). It looks close to Arabic but still has some differences. I had a SKX781 Orange Monster with Farsi/ English day wheel

And while not a Seiko watch, here is the only watch I have seen with Eastern Arabic dial numbers, Arabic day wheel and Eastern Arabic date wheel. It is a Fortis Al-Tayar model I got from a Fortis Dealer in the UAE

 

I’m waiting with money to get a black on white German daywheel for one of my skx’s. Tough go, it seems.

 

Here is a Seiko I picked up in the DPRK with a Korean day wheel...

 

Yo! Cool! Now I gotta ask: when were you up there?

 

had this in my 'misc watch pics' folder.

not sure for which model it went but i'm sure those markings would tell something.

 

Looks like thai to me.. Not 100% sure though

 

it's thai i'm just not sure which movt/watch it goes in haha

 

Possibly for 6138

 

Last time I was there was 2018, they have closed down the borders now due to virus now unfortunately

 

Managed to collect a few watches from there over the years....

 

I see some of them have Kim Il Sung's birthday, some have his signature; and the couple with Apr 25, 1992, must have commemorated Kim Jong Il. (all of this I learned just now by googling)

 

Yeah the April 25th ones are for KPA Army foundation day both are Chinese made, small one is Jilin, larger one Baoshihua.
The Omega ones with signature were basicly given out as a gift on Kim il sungs birthday (15th). Also there were Tissot and Longines, Lanco ones made also but have yet to find one
Now they all seem to be RWC, they did one for the 8th party congress and I also saw a picture of one with Kim Jong Un's signature. But noneone I know in KPA or the party seems to have one so maybe just a prototype or something.

 

Usually only the 10 year anniversary ones have the date on the dial (1972.4.15, 1982.4.15, etc)

 

Haha yeah I can imagine, the funny thing is seiko is the most common watch brand you see around the south half of DPRK but they are still very heavily anti Japanese.
Up north it is much more common to see russian (mainly raketa and slava) and chinese watches. I have to visit ROK more, only been there a couple of times.
No real domestic watch brands in ROK are there?

None that I've ever heard of, no, at least not yet. I'd love to see if my in-laws can find me one.

I have a Rado that my godfather (American) gifted to me, and one of the only people who recognized the brand was my Korean uncle.

Around WUS, the only Korean-based brand I know of is Tisell, run by a Mr. Oh who supposedly regulates the watches himself before shipping them (though I don't know who actually builds them; and his lineup is very homage-heavy, to put it nicely).

 

I saw one on the internet once
