About this reference

Rolex Day-Date

The reference

This is the VS Factory 1:1 Super Clone of the Rolex Day-Date 40, reference 228238, in yellow gold with a black baguette diamond dial. It represents the V2 iteration from VS Factory, a maker known for its attention to detail in replicating the Day-Date line. The watch captures the essence of the original with a focus on visual accuracy and build quality. The 40mm case is crafted from yellow gold, matching the original's material, and is paired with a matching yellow gold bracelet.

Build and movement

The black dial is set with baguette-cut diamonds, creating a striking contrast. Powering the watch is the DD3255 movement, a clone of the original Rolex calibre, designed to replicate the functionality and feel of the original movement. The reference 228238 is faithfully recreated, including the day and date complications at 12 and 3 o'clock respectively. What sets this version apart from a standard Day-Date is the black baguette diamond dial.

What sets this version apart

While standard models often feature plain or Roman numeral dials, this variant uses baguette diamonds for the hour markers, adding a level of luxury and visual interest. The black background makes the diamonds stand out, giving the watch a distinct and elegant appearance. The yellow gold case and bracelet further enhance the overall look, making it a standout piece in the VS Factory lineup. When you order this watch, you will receive real photos and a QC video of the exact timepiece before it is shipped.
