Description
A Rolex Day-Date clone — reference 18038, 36mm case, in stainless steel. On the wrist it tracks the reference it copies — the case silhouette, the dial furniture and the taper of the bracelet all follow the genuine watch. This is a clone, and it is described as one — no other claim is made about it.
It runs on a self-winding calibre, so the seconds hand glides instead of ticking and the watch keeps itself wound from the motion of your wrist. The steel case is worked by hand — brushed faces keep their grain and the polished edges stay sharp. The crystal is anti-reflective sapphire, and the case is rated to 50 metres — enough for everyday wear.
Sized for a man's wrist. The 36mm case carries the same proportions on the wrist as the model it follows. Nothing leaves without a check: we inspect and photograph the exact unit first, so the piece in the QC images is the piece that reaches you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Search 'Rolex 18038 Roman numerals' and compare dial layouts. The numerals should be classical serif style. Your QC photos will show the exact dial finish you're receiving, and you can cross-check against online reference images.
Annual inspection is prudent. Check for loose stones, debris in the setting, and general wear. We provide a 12-month warranty covering loose or missing stones; beyond that, a watchmaker can re-set or replace stones at cost.
Slightly, but imperceptibly in daily wear. The stones add a few grams; the steel case remains the primary weight. On the wrist you'll perceive the visual impact of sparkle rather than physical heaviness.
The '1' prefix on 118238 denotes a newer generation and slightly updated case finishing. Both are 36mm with perpetual calendar and president bracelet. The 18038 iced is the vintage designation with diamond setting; the 118238 is the modern equivalent, typically without diamonds unless specified.

Reference 18038: the original
Reference 18038 is a classic 36mm Day-Date with perpetual calendar and president bracelet. This iteration adds a diamond-set bezel and crown, raising the visual impact. Roman numerals on the dial are a vintage signature, distinguishing this reference from modern numeral or stick-marker versions. At 36mm it remains a dress watch despite the jewelled embellishment.

No claim to diamond certification or quality grading. The stones are visually similar to diamonds but are not independently appraised. The movement is not the brand's proprietary calibre. Water resistance is for daily wear and light weather only.
