As part of its 2024 releases at Watches & Wonders Geneva, replica Rolex introduced a series of new dial options for its iconic Day-Date collection. While the watches themselves remain identical to the current Day-Date 36 and Day-Date 40 models, these new dials bring styles that were previously exclusive to either the 36mm or 40mm sizes to the opposite size, while also adding fresh colors and configurations to the lineup.The third new model is the yellow gold Super Clone Rolex Day-Date 36 ref. 128238, with a white lacquer dial featuring the same deconstructed Roman numerals that were previously exclusive to the 40mm version. This popular dial style has now been brought to the 36mm version of the model. Replica Rolex has been adapting successful dial designs from its larger models for use in smaller ones (similar to how the Wimbledon dial is now available in both 36mm and 41mm Datejust models), and expanding this dial to the Day-Date 36 is a logical move given its widespread appeal.
Aside from their dials, the new replica Rolex Day-Date 36 and Day-Date 40 models are exactly the same as their counterparts in the existing collection. This means they feature 36mm or 40mm solid 18k gold cases (in yellow, white, or Everose gold), flat sapphire crystals with Cyclops lenses, Twinlock screw-down crowns, and solid casebacks, which contribute to their 100 meters of water resistance. Like other Day-Date watches, these new models come with the signature three-link President bracelet and are powered by the replica Rolex Caliber 3255 automatic movement, which operates at 28,800vph (4 Hz) and offers a 70-hour power reserve. The only differences between these new models and their predecessors lie in their dial designs, each representing a unique addition to the already diverse Day-Date range.
The first new model, teased in replica Rolex ads during the Academy Awards, is the replica Rolex Day-Date 40 ref. 228235, which features a slate ombre dial with the brand’s distinctive deconstructed Roman numeral markers. Previously, ombre dials—characterized by a radial gradient that darkens toward the edges—were only available on 36mm Day-Date models with diamond markers. This marks the first time ombre dials have been added to the 40mm models, paired with deconstructed Roman numerals for the first time.
The second new release is the white gold replica Rolex Day-Date 40 ref. 228239, which features a pearlized white mother-of-pearl dial—an option never before available for this model. Pearlized mother-of-pearl, sourced from the oldest part of oyster shells, has a unique texture that creates overlapping cloud-like patterns and gives the dial depth. This dial is adorned with ten baguette-cut diamond hour markers, complementing the dial’s natural shine and enhancing its luxurious appearance.
The third new model is the yellow gold Super Clone Rolex Day-Date 36 ref. 128238, with a white lacquer dial featuring the same deconstructed Roman numerals that were previously exclusive to the 40mm version. This popular dial style has now been brought to the 36mm version of the model. Replica Rolex has been adapting successful dial designs from its larger models for use in smaller ones (similar to how the Wimbledon dial is now available in both 36mm and 41mm Datejust models), and expanding this dial to the Day-Date 36 is a logical move given its widespread appeal.
The final new addition for 2024 is the Everose gold replica Rolex Day-Date 36 ref. 128395TBR, which comes with a trapeze-cut diamond bezel and a blue-green dial. This striking dial color was first seen on the updated Everose Sky-Dweller ref. 336935 last year, so it was expected that it would eventually appear in another replica Rolex model. The trapeze-cut diamonds used for the bezel are also notable, as this type of cut was previously only found on Day-Date models made from solid platinum. To match the bezel’s diamonds, the blue-green dial also features ten baguette-cut diamonds as hour markers.
