Replica Rolex Day-Date II 218238 41mm Champagne Dial

41 mm and a wider bezel

Next to a Day-Date 36 the 218238 has a visibly bigger dial and a broader fluted bezel, and the markers are longer. Champagne with gold batons is the classic colour for it. A smaller yellow model with a colourful dial is the green-dial 128238.

Day-Date II 218238

Who the size suits

Our size guide puts 41 mm and up on wrists over about 18 cm, and on 17 to 18 cm wrists both 36 and 40 to 41 mm work. Photos 03 and 04 still show the protective film on the bracelet and caseback. A 40 mm model in a platinum tone is the 228206 with an ice blue Eastern Arabic dial; how well the Day-Date gold plating holds up covers the yellow finish.

How does the 41 mm Day-Date II differ from the 36 mm models?
