This white gold 40mm replica Rolex Day-Date is truly extraordinary. Join us as we review the replica Rolex Day-Date 40mm Meteorite reference # m228239-0055 228239.
Meteorites are rare, and these meteorite dial Fake Rolex watches are also hard to find. Reserved for only some of their finest watches, Rolex incorporates genuine meteorite dials into certain models. Let’s explore one of these extraordinary timepieces, shall we? Replica Rolex watches are renowned for their exceptional dials, but the look and texture of these extraterrestrial meteorite dials are truly out of this world. Rolex has a history of pairing some of their most famous and noteworthy watch collections with rare materials, and these dials are exclusively found on Platinum or 18kt gold watches.
It is believed that the “Gibeon” Meteorite was part of a planetary core and features a unique crystalline crosshatch pattern, comprised essentially of crystallized iron and nickel. This pattern, known as the Widmanstätten pattern or Thomson structure, can only be seen once the meteorite is sliced. These patterns are typically found in octahedrite iron meteorites and some pallasites and do not appear in iron ores from Earth.
The remaining 26,000 KG of the Gibeon Meteorite found along the Great Fish River in Namibia is now protected by the Namibian government. Fortunately, Rolex managed to procure some of this interstellar material before these protective laws were enforced.
This exquisite meteorite dial features 18kt white gold hands and baguette diamond index hour markers. The curved day indicator window is above the polished Clone Rolex logo at the 12 o’clock position, with a cyclops magnifier fused to the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal to enhance the visibility of the date window at the 3 o’clock position. The day and date switch instantly at midnight, unlike many other watches where it changes gradually. The case features an 18kt white gold Twinlock crown and a fluted bezel, one of the most distinguishably ‘Rolex’ features with its wavy design. It is instantly recognizable and very dapper. This signature Rolex feature creates a medley of light and shadows when light hits the fluted bezel. Originally this was more of a functional design element used for gripping a rotating bezel. However, over time, this has become a premium aesthetic feature on some of the more prized Rolex collections and is only found in gold, even on a fixed (non-rotating) bezel like this one.
The 3255 caliber is both a COSC Certified Chronometer and a Superlative Chronometer. This means that first, the movement was sent to a third-party laboratory at COSC and received its Chronometer status, a prestigious precision pedigree attesting to its accuracy of -4/+6 seconds of deviation per day. Then the caliber is sent back to Rolex, where it is cased and regulated further until it reaches an astonishing accuracy rating of -2/+2 seconds per day. The bottom line is that it is a highly accurate mechanical caliber.
Just like the case, the President bracelet is constructed of 18kt white gold and looks exquisite. Its links have a semi-circular shape, with a brushed finish on the outer links and a polished finish on the inner links. When fully linked, it can accommodate wrists up to 8” or 20.5cm in size. The President bracelet is fastened with one of Rolex’s concealed folding Crown clasps. I wonder if Rolex will introduce a model with either an Oyster bracelet or a Jubilee bracelet, similar to the Datejust collection.
