Replica Rolex Day-Date m228238 Black Dial

Black and yellow with stones

The black sunburst makes the baguette markers and the stone bezel stand out more than any lighter dial could; in photos 03 to 05 the stones flash white against it while the hands stay gold. The day reads at 12, the date at 3. With rose plating instead of yellow, the same stone bezel and baguette layout is on the rose-tone baguette-bezel Day-Date.

At a glance

Case and bracelet

Yellow gold plating over 904L steel on the 40 mm case and the three-piece President bracelet, sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, screw-down crown. The side and clasp photos in this gallery are shared with the champagne version, since only the dial differs. How the plating on the Day-Date ages is the place to read about the plating.

Movement

The black-dial 228238 comes with either movement: Japanese, Miyota-based with about 40 hours, or Swiss, which follows the original caliber at 28,800 vph with about 70 hours. Water: 30 m. Same watch with a champagne dial: the champagne dial twin with a baguette bezel. Everything else: the rest of the Day-Date selection.

Is there the same stone-bezel model with a lighter dial?

Yes, the champagne version uses the same yellow-tone case, bezel and bracelet; only the dial colour changes.
