Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 Super Clone — 40mm Platinum Ice Blue Dial Fluted Bezel President

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.

Technical Specifications:

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.
