| Variant | Case Size | Dial | Super Clone Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18038 Onyx (this reference) | 36mm vintage yellow gold-tone | Black onyx hardstone | $1,499 |

| 228238 | 40mm modern yellow gold-tone | Champagne or black | $1,499 |
Buyers select the 18038 Onyx for the rare hardstone-dial character and the smaller vintage 36mm wrist size. Champagne-dial buyers prefer the warm, traditional vintage Day-Date look. Day-Date 40 buyers choose the larger modern case and the higher-autonomy Caliber 3255. The 18038 Onyx Super Clone gives the strongest vintage statement of the three.
The Rolex Day-Date launched in 1956 as the first wristwatch to display the day of the week spelled out in full in a window on the dial. Rolex paired the model only with platinum and 18k gold from the start, which earned it the "President" name after several heads of state wore it. Rolex produced reference 18038 from roughly 1977 to 1988 as the 36mm 18k yellow gold Day-Date, and the 18038 was the first Day-Date generation fitted with the quickset Caliber 3055. Rolex offered hardstone dials such as onyx, lapis lazuli, and malachite on gold Day-Date references during this period, and these stone dials remain among the most collected vintage Day-Date variants. The 18038 Super Clone carries that combined heritage of the onyx hardstone dial and the vintage President onto the wrist.

"I wanted a vintage stone-dial Day-Date, and the onyx dial on this one has the deep glossy black a real onyx face shows. The yellow gold case is warm and even. The President bracelet feels heavy and tight. At $1,499 it carries a real vintage look."
"Shipped DHL and arrived in Dubai in 6 days. The packaging was discreet exactly as described. The day window snaps over at midnight cleanly, and the quickset date moves fast on the crown. The 36mm size wears perfectly on my wrist."
"I was nervous spending this much on my first clone. WhatsApp support answered every question about the vintage 18038 before I ordered. The watch arrived in a full box set with papers. The fluted bezel and the onyx dial closed the deal for me."
Every question below is answered with direct context covering super clone basics, quality, choosing the right reference, and orders & support.
Yes, the Rolex Day-Date 18038 sold on Super Clone Watches is a 1:1 super clone that reproduces the genuine vintage Rolex reference at 98% visual and dimensional accuracy. The build matches the 36mm yellow gold case, the black onyx dial finish, and the President bracelet geometry within tight tolerance. The price of $1,499 compares to a genuine vintage market value near $22,000 for an 18038 with a hardstone dial.
The onyx dial is a black hardstone-style dial face that Rolex offered on vintage gold Day-Date references such as the 18038. This super clone reproduces the deep glossy black and the even mineral surface of an onyx stone dial. The stone-style face gives the 18038 the dark, reflective character that vintage hardstone-dial collectors look for.
Yes, the date uses a quickset function on this 18038 super clone. The quickset feature lets the wearer advance the date through the crown without turning the hour and minute hands, which matches the genuine Caliber 3055 that introduced quickset on the Day-Date. The day display still changes instantaneously at midnight along with the date.
This 18038 is built on a President bracelet because the genuine vintage Rolex Day-Date 18038 wears the President bracelet, not a Jubilee. The "Jubilee" word in the listing name is a loose tag and does not match the genuine bracelet pairing for this reference. The President bracelet, with its three-piece semi-circular links and concealed Crownclasp, is the correct and historically accurate choice for the 18038.
The Rolex Day-Date 18038 super clone ships via DHL Express or FedEx Priority with full insurance and tracked, signature-required delivery. The watch travels in secure, discreet packaging to protect your privacy. Transit time runs 5 to 10 business days to the USA, UK, UAE, India, and Europe, and the shipping cost is included in the price.
A Swiss-grade automatic clone of Rolex Caliber 3055 powers this Day-Date 18038 super clone. The Caliber 3055 is the quickset movement Rolex fitted to the genuine 18038, and the clone runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 48-hour power reserve. The movement drives the instantaneous day and the quickset date, with a smooth sweeping seconds hand and a quiet winding rotor.
The case uses a high-grade yellow gold-tone finish over a 904L stainless steel core rather than solid 18k yellow gold. This construction delivers the warm gold color, a substantial wrist weight, and durable scratch resistance for daily wear. Solid 18k yellow gold on a genuine vintage 18038 carries a far higher market value without changing the wrist-side appearance.
A 1-year limited warranty covers movement defects and manufacturing faults on this Day-Date 18038 super clone. Replacement parts sourcing runs through the originating factory via Super Clone Watches support. Movement servicing guidance is provided through WhatsApp and email for the lifetime of the watch.
