Rolex Datejust 31 178288 Super Clone : Yellow Gold Diamond Bezel Mother of Pearl Dial Overview
The Datejust 178288 is the 31mm midsize version of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust, built here in solid 18k yellow gold with a diamond-set bezel and a white mother of pearl diamond dial. This super clone follows the 178288 reference with a 31mm yellow gold case, a screw-down Twinlock crown, and the President bracelet for $1,499. Every proportion, the diamond spacing on the bezel, and each bracelet link follow the genuine reference within tight production tolerance.
Case, Crown and Lug Profile — 31mm Yellow Gold Build
The Rolex Datejust 31 178288 super clone carries a 31mm Oyster case in 18k yellow gold, finished with PVD gold plating over a steel core for accurate weight, color depth, and corrosion resistance. The case uses mirror-polished surfaces across the lugs and flanks, and the midsize 31mm diameter gives the 178288 the refined wrist presence Rolex built for the midsize Datejust. The screw-down Twinlock crown at 3 o'clock seals the case for water resistance to 100 meters.
Diamond-Set 18k Yellow Gold Bezel
The diamond-set bezel is a defining feature of this Datejust 178288, finished in 18k yellow gold with a continuous row of round-cut diamonds around the perimeter. The diamond bezel adds light play across the case edge and lifts the 178288 above the smooth and fluted Datejust options. This super clone follows the genuine diamond count, the stone spacing, and the gold setting so the bezel reads correctly under close inspection.
Sapphire Crystal, Cyclops Lens and Caseback
Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating covers the mother of pearl dial and carries a Cyclops magnification lens over the date aperture at 3 o'clock. The Cyclops lens enlarges the date by 2.5 times for quick reading, a signature detail of the Datejust line since 1953. The solid screw-down caseback seals the Caliber 2235 clone movement and supports the 100-meter water resistance rating of the Datejust.
White Mother of Pearl Dial with Diamond Markers
The white mother of pearl dial of this Datejust 178288 super clone shows the soft iridescent shimmer of natural shell, with color that shifts across the surface as light moves. The dial uses diamond hour markers set in polished gold surrounds and a date aperture at 3 o'clock. This super clone matches the marker placement, the diamond setting, and the pearlescent depth of the genuine 178288 dial.
Luminous Hands and Diamond Hour Markers
The Datejust 178288 carries diamond hour markers and baton-style hands in polished gold for clear time reading against the bright mother of pearl surface. The hands hold luminous fill for low-light legibility while keeping the dress-watch proportions of the midsize reference. The central hour, minute, and seconds hands follow the genuine reference in shape and length, and the diamond markers match the placement of the authentic 178288.
Logo, Text and Symmetry
The applied Rolex coronet sits at 12 o'clock, with "Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust" printed across the dial in fine text. The print stays crisp against the shifting mother of pearl surface, and the line spacing follows the genuine 178288 layout. The mother of pearl dial, the diamond bezel, and the polished yellow gold case give the 178288 a refined, jewelry-grade face that suits formal and evening wear.
Swiss-Grade Caliber 2235 Clone Movement
The Rolex Datejust 31 178288 super clone runs on a Swiss-grade automatic movement engineered to match the genuine Rolex Caliber 2235 in feel, frequency, and autonomy. The Caliber 2235 is the midsize 31mm Datejust movement, and the clone operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, winds bidirectionally through a free-rotating rotor, and holds a power reserve of approximately 48 hours for two days off the wrist. The caliber drives the central hours, minutes, seconds, and the date at 3 o'clock.
Accuracy and Daily Performance
Daily deviation holds within -5 to +8 seconds per day after factory regulation, close to the chronometer standard of the genuine Caliber 2235. The smooth sweeping seconds hand and the quiet rotor confirm the Swiss-grade build. The 100-meter water resistance and the screw-down Twinlock crown let the 178288 super clone hold its seal through daily wear, hand washing, and light water contact.

18k Yellow Gold President Bracelet and Concealed Crownclasp
The Datejust 178288 super clone carries the President bracelet, the three-piece semi-circular-link design Rolex pairs with its solid gold Datejust and Day-Date models. The bracelet uses 18k yellow gold links with a polished finish that matches the case and the bezel for a single continuous tone. A concealed Crownclasp closes flush against the wrist, hiding the clasp under a Rolex coronet for a clean, unbroken bracelet line. The President bracelet gives the 178288 its formal, jewelry-grade character.
Wrist Feel, Sizing and Comfort
The watch weighs approximately 110 grams on the full President bracelet, giving the substantial yet refined wrist presence buyers expect from a solid gold midsize Datejust. The 31mm case sits comfortably under a cuff and suits formal and dress wear. The Datejust 178288 fits wrists from 5.5 to 7 inches, the midsize range Rolex built the 31mm Datejust to serve.

Buyers select the Datejust 178288 for the solid 18k yellow gold case and the diamond-set bezel that delivers a jewelry-grade dress watch. The 178240 buyer prefers a restrained all-steel midsize Datejust at a lower entry point. The 279135RBR buyer chooses the smaller 28mm case in rose gold. The Datejust 178288 Super Clone gives the midsize 31mm proportions with the warmth of yellow gold and the sparkle of a full diamond bezel and mother of pearl dial.
Heritage The Rolex Datejust Since 1945
The Rolex Datejust launched in 1945 as the first self-winding wristwatch to show the date in a window on the dial. Rolex paired the model with the Oyster case for water resistance and the Perpetual rotor for automatic winding, which made it the first watch to combine all three features. The Datejust added the Cyclops lens over the date in 1953 to magnify the date for quick reading. Rolex built the Datejust in several case sizes, and the 31mm midsize line gave buyers the full Datejust identity in a smaller diameter. The reference 178288 carries the midsize 31mm case in solid 18k yellow gold with a diamond bezel and runs the Caliber 2235, the movement Rolex built for the 31mm Datejust. The Datejust 178288 Super Clone carries that long Datejust heritage and the proven dress-watch engineering onto the wrist.
