Rolex replica watches manufacturer launches some new models of Day-Date almost every year. They replace the new dial or use new gemstones. In 2024, while launching the new Day-Date 40 and Day-Date 36, Rolex also made an important change to the 36mm Day-Date. Watch enthusiasts and collectors should pay close attention to these changes.

New Rolex Day-Date 36: New Roman Numerals

This year, the new fake Rolex Day-Date 36, represented by the gold case (ref. 128238), is equipped with new three-dimensional Roman numerals, and the new hour markers are the same as those of the Day-Date 40. Moreover, on the Rolex official website, all 36mm Day-Date Roman numerals have used the new hour markers, which means the new Roman numerals have completely replaced the old 36mm Day-Date Roman numerals.

Rolex’s new Roman numerals were first used on the Day-Date 40 in 2015. The new Roman numerals adopt the same design style as the hands of the classic replica Rolex Day-Date watch. The three-dimensional sense is powerful, and the three-dimensional time scale has multiple facets, which are combined with flat polishing and chamfered polishing. Like the Roman numerals VI, VIII, and X, different facets are combined and interspersed with each other to form a large number of reflective surfaces. The light and shadow effect produced by the time scale can even be compared with the dogtooth ring.

Unfortunately, the new Roman numerals have only been used on the Day-Date 40 until this year, when they were finally matched with the Day-Date 36. Collectors familiar with Rolex know that the Day-Date 36 has always had Roman numerals in the past, but the old Roman numerals are either printed or flat metal time scales, which are much worse. This time, with the new time scale, the appearance of the Day-Date 36 has reached a new level. If you think the Day-Date 40mm is too large, then buy the new Day-Date 36, which is smaller in size, but the luxury is not reduced. That is why I like the Rolex Day-Date replica very much.

Why Is This Update So Important?

Because the new and old models are so different that you can tell them apart at a glance. So when you buy a cheap fake Rolex watch, you must pay attention to the new Day-Date 36 and look at the time mark. Because the new Roman version has completely replaced the old model, whether you buy a watch in the primary market or the secondary market, there will inevitably be a large number of old models. Beginners who want to buy a new model should pay attention to identification and don’t buy the wrong one.

New Rolex Day-Date 40: Gradient Dial

This year, the new 1:1 Rolex Day-Date 40, represented by the rose gold case (ref. 228235), has a new gradient dial. Rolex’s main color for the Day-Date 40 this year is gradient colors, including gradient black for rose gold case, gradient green for gold case, and gradient blue for white gold and platinum cases.

Previously, copy Rolex used a gradient dial on the Day-Date 36, and it was a gradient dial with diamond-encrusted scales. This year’s new gradient dial Day-Date 40 is equipped with three-dimensional Roman numerals. This rose gold Rolex ref. 228235 has a gray center dial, which deepens around and turns black at the edge of the dial. In addition, the dial is decorated with radial patterns.

Rolex’s New Day-Date 40: Mother of Pearl Dial

Rolex replica has added a mother-of-pearl dial to the Day-Date 40. The high-quality Day-Date represented by the white gold case (ref. 228239) is the first to be equipped with a mother-of-pearl dial. At the same time, there are 10 diamond hour markers on the dial. In addition to the white gold case, the yellow gold case, rose gold case, and platinum case also have mother-of-pearl dials this year. At the same time, in addition to the dog-toothed ring bezel, you can also choose to set the bezel with diamonds.

Now, AAA+ Rolex Day-Date, whether 36 or 40, has been replaced with Rolex’s new generation 32 automatic movement, specifically 3255. The 32 series movement has a power of 70 hours, continues to use Rolex blue niobium hairspring, new Chronergy escapement, non-card weight fine-tuning balance wheel, swing frequency 28800 times/hour, with Rolex Super Observatory certification, daily error +2/-2 seconds.

Although the exact replica Rolex is not transparent, the movement decoration is very good, the exposed jewel bearing has a gold-plated countersunk hole, the upper plywood is all brushed, and the invisible places of the lower plywood of the movement are also decorated with pearl patterns. The movement decoration is one of the best on the same level. It has achieved a balance between absolute performance and decoration.

One detail worth noting is that Rolex’s current movements, including the 32 series and Daytona’s 4131 automatic chronograph movement (Rolex Caliber 4131), have been upgraded with new automatic rotors, which have a significantly increased number of ball bearings, covering the entire bearing track. The old automatic rotor only had 7 balls.

The Most Attractive Thing About This Watch

Now, all Rolex Day-Date watches have a president bracelet and hidden clasp. This combination is the highest treatment among Rolex. In the past, the replica Rolex Datejust 116233 generation also used a hidden clasp, but later Rolex directly removed the hidden clasp of the Datejust and only gave it to the Day-Date.

Objectively speaking, the president bracelet of the clone Rolex Day-Date is luxurious and beautiful, with three sections, polished in the middle, brushed on both sides, raised links, and a small crown exposed by the hidden clasp, which is highly recognizable. This gold bracelet is very dressy and uplifting.

Conclusion

The watch is really good, but also really expensive. The Day-Date is one of the most difficult series to get in Rolex. First of all, the imitation Rolex Day-Date is a gold watch, and the gold price has risen recently. After several rounds of price increases, the public price of the Day-Date is above $40,000.

Even if the pre-owned replica watches market and discounts are taken into consideration, the Day-Date is a large piece of gold after all, and the actual price will not be much lower. Only the platinum case will be lower than the yellow gold case and rose gold case. If you also like the low-key appearance of the platinum case, then the platinum case will let you spend less.
