For now, Rolex introduced the Day-Date 40mm in 18 carat white gold, yellow gold, Everose gold and the cream of the crop is of course the platinum version. Not merely did Rolex put more effort into the design of the Replica Rolex Day-Date, they as well updated the movement.
Up to this day, I still don’t have a Rolex Day-Date with President (or Oyster) bracelet however the wish is still there and very alive. In my first years of watch collecting, I remember I was able to borrow this Rolex Day-Date 18238 from my friend Gerard – who’s as well a contributor for Fratello Watches – for a few days and it felt like magic. However, during all these years, the idea of owning one at several point never let me go.
As you can see below, the Rolex Day-Date 18209 is an interesting white gold version with Oyster bracelet that has very classy looks. Now I do think that you can pull it off with a Rolex Day-Date, however I notice that my 36mm Datejust merely gets little wrist time these days.
Although I obsessed those Fake Rolex Day-Date reference 1803 models, the 18038 and later references definitely have my preference for the simple reason that they seem to be larger on the wrist due to the dial. All Rolex Day-Date models shown have the famous President bracelet. At this point, it is unknown whether Rolex will as well deliver the Day-Date on an Oyster bracelet. The Day-Date reference 1803 has a pie-pan shaped dial that makes it look a bit smaller. thus actually a Rolex Day-Date 18238 in yellow gold with a tapestry dial would be one of my favorite combinations. The Rolex Day-Date II – that has now been discontinued – had a diameter of 41mm.On the other hand, a bit more toned down white gold version would perhaps suit me better. The gold versions have a fluted bezel where as the platinum edition was presented with a smooth bezel. There will as well be diamond-set bezels for the Rolex Day-Date 40mm.
In my opinion, the watch was a bit too big and lacked the finesse and perfect design ratio of the 36mm versions. severalhow, this watch appeared to be bulkier on the wrist than the 41mm Datejust II. Men with smaller wrist can still decide to go for the original 36mm version of the Rolex Day-Date of course.
Thus besides the Rolex Yachtmaster Everose (we talked about it here), Rolex decided to bring us a new version of their Day-Date in 40mm and a stunning stainless steel Oyster Perpetual in 39mm. We will get back to you on the new 39mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual later on. At that time I was a student and walking around with a yellow gold Rolex Day-Date on a President bracelet probably looked a bit ridiculous.
The Rolex Day-Date in 40mm is basically a larger version of the classic 36mm Day-Date where the 41mm Day-Date II was just a diverse type of watch. The Rolex Day-Date 40mm is therefore [far] more elegant on the wrist and probably suits about every wrist size. The middle part of the case and lugs are more refined than its 41mm brother. With more effort into the design of the new 40mm version, I mean that they respected the original Day-Date more than they did with the 41mm version.
The dial is of extremely high quality. The dial color itself seems almost identical to that of the manual wind Day-Date and really contains a surprising amount of depth in diverse types of lighting. Furthermore, the idea of using gold on the dial may seem dated or out of order on a stainless replica Rolex watches, however here again, the way the dial picks up the color severalhow makes it all look harmonious. I mentioned the lack of chronometer certification, however like on most vintage Day-Date, I don’t miss the paragraph of verbiage reminding me of this attribute.
