Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 Super Clone : 40mm Platinum Ice Blue Dial Fluted Bezel President Overview
The Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 is the 40mm 950 platinum variant of the Day-Date 40 line that Rolex pairs with a fluted bezel and the ice blue dial reserved for platinum cases. This super clone of the Day-Date 40 228236 features the ice blue sunburst dial, applied baton hour markers, fluted platinum-tone bezel, and three-piece President bracelet for $1,699, sitting at the top of the 228 family alongside the smooth-bezel 228206, the white gold 228239, the rose gold 228235, and the yellow gold 228238 references.
Case, Crown and Fluted Bezel — 40mm 950 Platinum-Tone Build
The Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 super clone features a 40mm platinum-tone case measuring 11.8mm in thickness, built on a 904L-grade stainless steel core finished with a high-grade platinum PVD layer for long-term tonal stability. The Day-Date 40 case profile widens the lugs and broadens the case shoulders compared with the prior 218236 generation, and this super clone holds that geometry at CNC tolerance.
Case Geometry and Finishing
The case finishing on the Day-Date 228236 super clone follows vertical brushing across the lug tops, mirror-polished lug flanks, and a chamfered transition into the President bracelet. The Twinlock screw-down crown sits flush against the case at 3 o'clock and shows the applied Rolex crown logo. The Day-Date 228236 case shape mirrors the genuine reference within tight dimensional tolerance, holding the same 47mm lug-to-lug span on the wrist.
Fluted Bezel, Sapphire Crystal and Caseback
The fluted platinum-tone bezel is the visual signature of the 228236 reference, separating this Day-Date variant from the smooth-bezel 228206 in the same platinum case family. The fluting carries 60 evenly spaced facets that scatter light in a way the genuine reference is known for, and Clean Factory cuts each facet to the same angle as the genuine bezel. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal covers the dial and includes the Cyclops 2.5x date magnifier at 3 o'clock. The screw-down solid caseback seals the Day-Date 228236 super clone to 100 meters of water resistance, suited to daily wear and incidental submersion.
Ice Blue Sunburst Dial with Applied Baton Markers
The ice blue sunburst dial defines the Rolex Day-Date 40 228236, and this super clone holds the dial sweep through Clean Factory dial sourcing for accurate light play across the wrist roll. The ice blue tone is the colour Rolex reserves exclusively for platinum Day-Date models, shifting from icy pale blue under flat light to a deeper sky tone as the sunburst rays catch direct sunlight. The cool dial colour pairs with the fluted platinum-tone bezel to deliver the cold-metal aesthetic the 228236 buyers select the reference for.
Applied Baton Hour Markers and Hands
Applied white-gold-tone baton hour markers sit at every hour position except 12, framed in polished settings that match the platinum case tone. The 12 o'clock position carries the arched day window, which removes the upper marker on the genuine reference and on this Day-Date 228236 super clone. White-gold-tone baton hour and minute hands feature Chromalight luminescence for low-light reading, paired with a slim lollipop-tipped seconds hand that sweeps smoothly at 28,800 vibrations per hour.
Day Display, Date Window and Cyclops
The day display sits in an arched window at 12 o'clock and shows the full English-language day name as standard, with optional language discs available on request. The instantaneous date window sits at 3 o'clock under the Cyclops lens, jumping cleanly at midnight on the Day-Date 228236 super clone. The dial signature reads "Day-Date" above 6 o'clock with the Rolex crown logo, and the "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" wording prints in 4 lines below the centre.
Swiss-Grade Caliber 3255 Clone
The Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 super clone runs on a Swiss-grade automatic movement engineered to match the feel, frequency, and 70-hour autonomy of the genuine Rolex Caliber 3255. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, drives the instantaneous day-and-date jump at midnight, and winds bidirectionally through a heavy oscillating weight built around a perpetual rotor.
Accuracy and Daily Performance
Daily deviation on the Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 super clone holds within minus 5 to plus 10 seconds per day after factory regulation, sitting close to the genuine Superlative Chronometer specification of minus 2 to plus 2 seconds per day. The smooth sweeping seconds hand on the 228236 super clone mirrors the high-frequency tick of the original Caliber 3255. The 70-hour power reserve covers a full weekend off the wrist without resetting the day-and-date display on Monday morning.

President Bracelet and Concealed Crownclasp
The Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 super clone ships on the iconic three-piece President bracelet in platinum-tone, the same construction Rolex reserves for Day-Date models in precious metal. The semicircular links carry a polished centre piece flanked by satin-brushed outer segments, building the visual rhythm that gives the Day-Date its on-wrist silhouette. The bracelet taper runs from 21mm at the case end to roughly 16mm at the clasp, sitting flush with the case shoulders for a clean integrated line.
Wrist Feel, Weight and Comfort
The President bracelet on this Day-Date 228236 super clone weighs approximately 198 grams head and bracelet combined, sitting close to the genuine 950 platinum reference within a 7-gram margin. The link articulation drapes the bracelet around the wrist for a soft, conforming fit on wrist sizes from 6.5 inches to 8 inches. The concealed Crownclasp folds invisibly into the centre link, keeping the unbroken bracelet line that defines President wear, and snaps shut with a positive double-click that signals secure closure.

Buyers select the Day-Date 40 228236 for the fluted bezel that gives the platinum case a higher visual texture than the smooth-bezel 228206 carries. White gold buyers settle on the 228239 for a similar fluted profile at a lower price tier in the family. Rose gold buyers prioritise the Everose patina stability and the softer skin contact. Yellow gold buyers favour the warm dial pairings and the classic Day-Date character.
Heritage The Day-Date Lineage and the 228236 Place in It
The Rolex Day-Date launched in 1956 as the first wristwatch to display the day of the week spelled out in full on the dial, available only in precious metal and paired at launch with the President bracelet that gave the line its nickname. The Day-Date 40 family arrived in 2015, introducing the 40mm case width and the new-generation Caliber 3255 with 70-hour autonomy and the Chronergy escapement. The Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 sits in that 2015 redesign lineage as the 950 platinum variant with the fluted bezel, carrying the ice blue dial that Rolex reserves exclusively for platinum models and signalling the precious-metal tier through both the bezel texture and the dial colour.

★★★★★
The fluted bezel catches light exactly like a platinum Rolex should
"I have handled the genuine 228236 at a boutique twice and the fluted bezel light scatter is the detail I was watching for. This super clone holds the same facet angle and the same cool reflection across the bezel as the watch I held in the AD. The ice blue dial finishes the platinum look for the eye in any lighting condition."

★★★★★
Cleared Heathrow customs without a flag and the day-and-date jump is precise
"Shipped DHL from Hong Kong to London in 6 days. The packaging was discreet and the box was untouched. The day jumps cleanly at midnight and the date follows within the same minute on this 228236 super clone. The fluted bezel keeps its polish 4 weeks into wear with no orange-peel marks."

★★★★★
Bought the 228236 over the 228206 for the fluted texture and have no regrets
"Spent 2 weeks comparing the smooth-bezel 228206 and the fluted 228236 through WhatsApp macro shots. The fluted bezel adds visual depth across the wrist roll that the smooth bezel does not give. The Day-Date 228236 super clone reads platinum from across the room and the President bracelet drape sits flat on a 7.25-inch wrist."

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Every question below is answered with direct context covering super clone basics, quality, choosing the right reference, and orders & support.
Is the Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 a 1:1 super clone?+
Yes, the Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 sold on Super Clone Watches is a 1:1 super clone reproducing the genuine Rolex reference at 98% visual and dimensional accuracy. Clean Factory dial sourcing and VSF movement precision deliver the ice blue sunburst sweep, fluted bezel facet geometry, and Caliber 3255 day-and-date jump action that match the original within tight tolerance. The price of $1,699 compares to $73,550 for the authentic 950 platinum reference at authorized Rolex dealers.
Is the case solid platinum or plated?+
The case of the Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 super clone is high-grade platinum PVD over a 904L stainless steel core rather than solid 950 platinum. This construction delivers the visual tone, weight parity within a 7-gram margin, and durable scratch resistance for daily wear. Solid 950 platinum on the genuine Rolex 228236 adds approximately $71,000 to the retail price without changing the wrist-side appearance.
Why does the 228236 carry the ice blue dial?+
The Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 carries the ice blue dial because Rolex restricts that exact dial colour to platinum cases as a signal of the metal tier. The cool ice blue tone is the second platinum-only signature alongside the platinum-tone case, separating the 228236 from the gold variants in the 228 family. This super clone holds the dial colour at full visual parity, including the tonal shift the ice blue dial shows under direct sunlight where the icy pale blue deepens into a soft sky tone.
Does the day-and-date display jump instantaneously at midnight?+
Yes, the day-and-date display jumps instantaneously at midnight on the Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 super clone. The Caliber 3255 clone train carries a dedicated jumper complication that snaps both the day disc and the date wheel forward within the same minute window between 11:59 PM and 12:00 AM. The crown setting position allows the day and date to advance independently for travel adjustments across time zones.
What movement powers this Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 super clone? +
A Swiss-grade Caliber 3255 clone movement powers this Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 super clone. The movement runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour, holds 70 hours of power reserve, and drives the instantaneous day-and-date jump at midnight through a dedicated complication train. Performance matches the genuine Caliber 3255 on frequency and autonomy, with the bidirectional perpetual rotor providing efficient daily winding on the wrist.
What is the difference between the 228236 fluted bezel and the 228206 smooth bezel?+
The Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 carries a fluted platinum-tone bezel and the 228206 carries a smooth polished platinum-tone bezel, and both share the same 40mm platinum case and the ice blue dial colourway. The fluted bezel on the 228236 features 60 evenly spaced facets that scatter light across the wrist roll, while the smooth bezel on the 228206 reflects light as a single mirror-polished surface. Buyers select the 228236 for higher visual texture and the 228206 for a cleaner monochrome look against the ice blue dial.
What is the price difference vs the authentic Rolex Day-Date 40 228236?+
The authentic Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 retails for approximately $73,550 in the ice blue baguette dial configuration at authorized dealers, with secondary-market trades sitting between $65,000 and $95,000 depending on dial variant and condition. This Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 super clone sells for $1,699, delivering 98% visual and functional parity at roughly 2.3% of the genuine retail price. Buyers receive the full Day-Date presence on the wrist without the capital outlay.
What warranty is included with the Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 super clone?+
A 1-year limited warranty is included with the Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 super clone, covering movement defects and manufacturing faults from the date of delivery. Replacement-parts sourcing runs directly through the originating specialist factory by way of Super Clone Watches support. Movement servicing guidance is provided through WhatsApp and email for the lifetime of the watch.
