Rolex Day-Date 118238 Super Clone: 36mm Yellow Gold Green Dial President with Caliber 3155 Clone

Case, Crown and Crystal: 36mm 18k Yellow-Gold-Tone Build

The Rolex Day-Date 118238 super clone features a 36mm yellow-gold-tone case measuring 11.8mm thick and 43mm lug-to-lug, machined on 5-axis CNC equipment to match the genuine reference dimensions within a 0.05mm tolerance. The case sits on a 904L stainless steel core with high-grade 18k yellow gold PVD finishing across all visible surfaces for long-term color retention. The 36mm Day-Date 118238 case carries the classic President proportions Rolex held across the line from 1956 until the 2015 shift to the wider 40mm 228238 platform.

Fluted Bezel and Sapphire Crystal with Cyclops Lens

The fluted bezel on this Day-Date 118238 super clone is machined from the same yellow-gold-tone alloy and finished to a mirror polish across each fluted ridge. Sapphire crystal sits flush over the dial with anti-reflective treatment on the underside, and the Rolex Cyclops lens magnifies the date window at 3 o'clock by 2.5x. The fluted-bezel-and-Cyclops combination is the visual signature buyers identify the Day-Date by from across a room, separating the 118238 from smooth-bezel sport references in the Rolex catalog.

Twinlock Crown and 100-Meter Case Seal

The Day-Date 118238 super clone uses a Twinlock screw-down crown engraved with the Rolex coronet, sealed against the case with double gaskets. The crown threads tight against the case in 4 turns. Combined with the screwed-in solid caseback, the watch holds 100 meters (330 feet) of water resistance for swimming and full daily wear. The closed caseback is brushed yellow-gold-tone with no engraving, true to the genuine 118238 closed-back style that protects the Caliber 3155 from view.

Sunburst Green Dial and Applied Yellow Gold Baton Markers

The sunburst green dial is the defining attribute of this Rolex Day-Date 118238 super clone, finished with a radial brushed sunburst pattern that shifts between deep emerald and warm olive as the wrist rotates under light. The dial carries 10 applied yellow-gold-tone baton hour markers positioned at the 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11 hour stations, with a double baton at 6 o'clock. Each marker sits hand-set into the dial plate with crisp polished edges and a flat top facet that catches light at the same angle as the bezel polish.

Day Window at 12 and Date Window at 3

The Rolex Day-Date 118238 super clone displays the full English day of the week in the arched aperture at 12 o'clock, the layout the Day-Date pioneered in 1956 as the first wristwatch to spell the day out in full. The date window sits at 3 o'clock under the Cyclops lens, showing the current date in 2.5x magnification. Both windows carry color-matched green discs with white printed text for visual continuity across the dial surface, matching the genuine 118238 dial-disc grammar.

Rolex Coronet, Day-Date Text and Faceted Hands

The applied yellow-gold-tone Rolex coronet sits at 12 o'clock above the printed "ROLEX" wordmark. The dial carries "OYSTER PERPETUAL DAY-DATE" below the coronet and "SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED" above the 6 position in fine sans-serif print. Faceted yellow-gold-tone hour and minute hands match the baton markers, with a slim sweep seconds hand carrying a counterweighted coronet at the tail. The Day-Date 118238 super clone dial reads with the restrained text density that separates the Day-Date from busier complications inside the Rolex catalog.

Accuracy and Daily Wear Performance

Daily timekeeping deviation on the Day-Date 118238 super clone holds within minus 2 to plus 4 seconds per day after factory regulation, sitting close to the genuine Rolex Superlative Chronometer specification of minus 2 to plus 2 seconds per day. The 50-hour power reserve covers a full weekend off the wrist without resetting the day or the date. The KIF anti-shock architecture inside the clone movement matches the shock protection the genuine Caliber 3155 carries inside the authentic 118238.

Movement Finishing

The bridges receive Geneva striping in parallel waves. The mainplate carries perlage circular graining. The rotor displays a brushed radial finish that matches the genuine Caliber 3155 rotor architecture inside the authentic 118238. The complete movement sits behind a solid yellow-gold-tone screw-in caseback, hidden from view in keeping with the Day-Date 118238 super clone's closed-back design.

Swiss-Grade Automatic Clone of Caliber 3155

The Rolex Day-Date 118238 super clone runs on a Swiss-grade automatic clone movement engineered to match the genuine Rolex Caliber 3155 in size, frequency, jewel count, and 50-hour autonomy. The movement winds bidirectionally through a perpetual rotor and uses a free-sprung balance with a Microstella-style regulator. The architecture follows Rolex's day-date complication layout with the day disc driven from 12 o'clock and the quickset date driven from 3 o'clock, mirroring the original Caliber 3155 layout the genuine 118238 carries.

Movement Specifications

3-Link President Bracelet in Yellow Gold Tone

The Rolex Day-Date 118238 super clone ships on the original President bracelet, a 3-link semi-circular design Rolex first introduced with the 1956 launch of the Day-Date. The bracelet measures 20mm wide at the lugs and tapers to 16mm at the clasp. Each semi-circular center link sits between two semi-circular outer links in a tight-knit pattern, all finished in high-polish yellow-gold-tone for the dress-watch presentation the President bracelet defines.

Crownclasp Concealed Folding System

The Crownclasp concealed folding clasp on this Day-Date 118238 super clone closes with a hidden coronet-stamped release built into the link pattern, presenting an uninterrupted bracelet line on the wrist. The clasp opens by lifting the central crown emblem and folds tight against the wrist when closed, holding the President bracelet's signature uninterrupted look across the underside of the wrist. The clasp action holds the precise click of the genuine 118238 reference.

Wrist Feel, Weight and Sizing

The Rolex Day-Date 118238 super clone weighs approximately 145g on the full bracelet, sitting close to the wrist feel of the genuine 18k yellow gold reference within a 10-gram margin. The 36mm case sits well on wrists from 6 inches through 7.5 inches, the classic Day-Date sizing range Rolex held from 1956 until the 2015 shift to the 40mm 228238. Lug-to-lug length runs 43mm, keeping the watch proportionate on dress cuffs and balanced on slimmer wrists where larger 40mm cases overhang.
