A textured silver dial
Up close (photo 02) the dial is covered with a small square grid that makes it look slightly frosted; from a distance it reads as plain silver. Gold-tone batons sit over the texture, the day window is at 12 and the date at 3, and the fluted bezel frames it all.

Case and bracelet
Yellow gold plating over 904L steel for case, bezel and President bracelet; sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. For the plating itself, what to expect from the Day-Date gold coating. The dark alternative on this case is the black dial 228238 on a fluted bezel.
Movement
The movement is your choice on the motif-dial 228238: Japanese Miyota-based, about 40 hours, or Swiss, following the original caliber at 28,800 vph for about 70 hours. Water: 30 m. For a white tone and a smooth bezel, see the white-tone Day-Date with a smooth bezel and black dial; all versions are in all Day-Date references.
Is the bezel on this textured-dial 228238 fluted or smooth?
Fluted, as every photo in the gallery shows.
