Replica Rolex Day-Date 116610 36mm White Dial

White dial, gold batons

The hours are slim applied batons without stones, and the only numerals are small Roman figures on the outer minute track, so the dial reads cleanly at a glance and the gold of the hands stands out against the white. The magnifier sits over the date at 3. For the same idea on a larger, newer case, the Day-Date 40 collection in yellow plating includes white and champagne dials.

This Day-Date 36 in brief

The 36 mm case on the wrist

Our size guide puts wrists under about 16.5 cm on 36 mm, and says both 36 and 40 to 41 mm work on 17 to 18 cm wrists. The President bracelet has the three-piece rounded links, and photo 04 shows the folding clasp with a crown. A leather alternative in the same size is the 118135 with a silver dial on black leather; how the gold plating on the Day-Date holds up covers the yellow finish.

Inside and underneath

Yellow gold plating over 904L steel, a plain screw-down caseback (photo 03) and sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. 30 m: fine in the rain, not in the sea. The Japanese movement is a Miyota-based automatic running 21,600 vph for roughly 40 hours; the Swiss one follows the original caliber at 28,800 vph and keeps going about 70 hours. Other references: the full Day-Date range.

What is on the outer edge of the dial?

A black minute track with small Roman numerals at the hours runs around the edge; photo 09 shows it most clearly. The day window at 12 spells the weekday in full.
