This is a custom Rolex Day‑Date 228239 – white gold style, 40mm, with a white mother‑of‑pearl dial and T‑square diamond markers. Let’s break it down:
Case & bracelet: They use a tungsten steel counterweight core (so it feels heavy like real gold) and then wrap it in 18K gold to get the right color. Total weight around 210g – that’s solid.
Movement: Swiss ETA 2836 – reliable workhorse, day and date function, easy to service. Not a Rolex movement, but proven.
Dial: Genuine mother‑of‑pearl – so each dial has unique natural patterns. Set with 9 lab‑grown T‑square (baguette) diamonds. Printing is crisp.
Hands: Swiss‑craft aftermarket – solid axles, clean edges.
Day/date wheel: Imported Swiss ink – clear, well‑centered, easy to read.
Assembly: Dust‑free under 10x – no debris inside.
Clasp: President style, same counterweight + gold wrap construction.
Bottom line: This is a smart build – you get the look and weight of a solid white gold Day‑Date with a unique mother‑of‑pearl dial and baguette diamonds, but at a much lower cost than a genuine full‑solid‑gold piece. The ETA movement is reliable and cheap to maintain. Perfect for someone who wants the President presence without the six‑figure price tag.
