Rolex 228235-0002 Day-Date 40 Everose Chocolate Roman

Roman numerals change the character

Brown dial, rose gold-plated case, and the same 40 mm proportions as the rest of our replica Rolex Day-Date 228235 listings. What separates this one from the baton-marker chocolate dial is the numerals: large applied Romans at the hour positions fill the face and make the watch read older and more formal. The sunburst finish still shifts from warm brown to near black as you turn your wrist, and the day is written out in full at 12 o’clock.

Specification in short

• Case: 904L steel, rose gold plated, 40 mm, fluted bezel, screw-down crown
• Crystal: sapphire with anti-reflective coating and a magnifying lens over the date
• Dial: chocolate sunburst, applied Roman numerals, weekday aperture at 12, date at 3
• Bracelet: President, three-piece links, resizable at any watchmaker
• Movement: Japanese or Swiss automatic, selected at checkout

Which caliber to order

The Japanese version uses a Miyota-based automatic with about 40 hours of running time, a quickset date and around 15 to 20 seconds of drift a day. The Swiss version follows the 3235-type layout, runs at 28,800 vph, stores about 70 hours and holds 5 to 8 seconds a day. Both are self-winding and both drive the day and date. Prices for this listing start at $249, and bank transfer or crypto payment takes 10 or 15 per cent off the total. If a leather strap suits you better than a bracelet, the Day-Date on leather is a different route to the same face.
