Description
A Rolex Day-Date clone — reference 228238-0042, 40mm case, in yellow gold. 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 case is yellow gold, finished by hand — brushed surfaces stay brushed and polished edges keep a clean line. 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 40mm 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
Rolex engraves the reference 228238-0042 on the solid case back of any original Day-Date in yellow gold. The suffix 0042 indicates the gold finish and dial variant. Our case back is unmarked, but your certificate will confirm the exact reference.
The last four digits specify the material finish and dial colour. The 0042 designates yellow gold finish with a specific dial colour (often champagne or white, depending on production year). Other suffixes (0007, 0033, 0034) indicate different metals and dial combinations.
In the original Rolex, the case and bracelet are solid gold on the precious metal variants. In the clone, we use a high-quality gold-toned plating over stainless steel, which achieves the visual finish accurately. The clone is not solid gold.
Clean with a soft, lint-free cloth and mild soap with warm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Polish occasionally with a gold-specific polishing cloth to maintain shine. Professional polishing at a watchmaker can restore a worn finish.
