Q Factory (QF) Edition — Presidential Bracelet

Q Factory (QF) has engineered a notable advancement in precious metal replication with this tungsten-weighted Day-Date 36. By integrating a dense tungsten alloy core within the 904L Oystersteel case, QF achieves a total mass of 160 grams, successfully mimicking the tactile heft of a genuine 18K yellow gold timepiece. This reference m128238-0069 features a precise Gradient Green dial accented with baguette and brilliant-cut diamond-simulant indices, offering high contrast against the yellow gold-plated architecture.

Operating inside is the Clone 3255 caliber, a self-winding mechanical movement designed to replicate the architecture and functionality of the genuine Rolex counterpart. It features instantaneous day and date changeover mechanisms and unrestricted rapid-setting via the crown. Following standard clone movement profiles, it delivers approximately 36 hours of reliable power reserve while maintaining a smooth sweep.

The 36mm case profile is accurately proportioned, featuring the signature fluted bezel and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal complete with the correct 2.5x magnification Cyclops lens. The Presidential bracelet is constructed with semi-circular three-piece links, finished with an alternating brushed and polished surface, and secured by a precise concealed folding Crownclasp.

• Movement: Clone 3255 Calibre — Approximately 36 hours
• Case Material: 904L Oystersteel with Tungsten Core (18K Gold Plated), 36mm diameter, 160 g weighted
• Bezel: 18K Gold Plated Fluted Bezel
• Crystal: Sapphire Crystal with 2.5x Cyclops and laser-etched crown at 6 o’clock
• Bracelet: 18K Gold Plated Presidential Bracelet with Concealed folding Crownclasp

This piece serves the collector who demands the accurate physical weight of a solid gold Day-Date. The tungsten integration provides a wearing experience that standard stainless steel replicas cannot replicate.

ARF Edition — President Bracelet

The ARF weighted Day-Date 40 addresses the most persistent challenge in precious metal replicas: tactile mass. By integrating a tungsten alloy core, this release achieves a verified weight of 200g, closely mirroring the heft of the genuine solid 18k Everose gold reference 228235.

Powered by the clone 3255 caliber, this movement replicates the instantaneous day and date jump at midnight. The architecture includes a bidirectional rotor and operates with a power reserve of approximately 36 hours. The regulation ensures stable amplitude across different wearing positions.

The 40mm case utilizes a 904L Oystersteel and tungsten base, heavily plated in a rose gold tone designed to mimic Rolex’s proprietary Everose. The deep brown dial with Roman numerals offers excellent contrast against the fluted bezel, while the President bracelet features well-articulated semi-circular three-piece links and a concealed folding Crownclasp.

• Movement: Clone 3255 Caliber — Approximately 36 hours
• Case Material: Tungsten Alloy & 904L Steel Base (Rose Gold Plated), 40mm diameter, 200g
• Bezel: Fluted rose gold plated, accurate pitch and depth
• Crystal: Scratch-resistant sapphire with double AR coating on Cyclops
• Bracelet: President style with concealed Crownclasp
• Water Resistance: Stated 30m — professional pressure test recommended before swimming

Suited for collectors who demand the correct tactile weight of a precious metal piece. The 200g mass provides an authentic wearing experience that standard steel clones cannot replicate.

QF Edition — Presidential Bracelet

The QF release of the Day-Date 36mm reference 128238-0008 represents a highly scrutinized alternative to traditional BP and GMF offerings. By utilizing a 904L Oystersteel base beneath the 18K yellow gold plating, QF achieves a case profile with accurate lug dimensions and crisp fluted bezel facets. The champagne sunburst dial avoids the overly saturated brass tones often found in early replica batches, providing a more clinical match to the genuine lacquer.

Inside the monobloc middle case operates the Clone 3255 mechanical movement. Unlike standard ETA clones, this architecture correctly supports the instantaneous jump of both the day and date apertures at midnight. Power reserve is rated at approximately 36 hours, ensuring stable amplitude when worn daily. The movement utilizes a bidirectional winding mechanism and features a stop-seconds function for precise synchronization.

The 36mm case diameter and concealed folding crown clasp adhere closely to genuine specifications, offering an authentic wrist presence. The sapphire crystal is equipped with the signature 2.5x Cyclops lens over the date window, featuring proper anti-reflective coating to minimize glare. A laser-etched Rolex coronet is present at the 6 o’clock position on the crystal, executing a subtle but necessary detail for modern reference accuracy.

• Movement: Clone 3255 — Approximately 36 hours
• Case Material: 18K Gold Plated 904L Oystersteel, 36.0mm diameter, ~44.0mm lug-to-lug, ~125g
• Bezel: Fluted 18K gold-plated, accurate facet depth
• Crystal: Sapphire with 2.5x Cyclops and AR coating
• Bracelet: Presidential 18K gold-plated with concealed folding crown clasp
• Water Resistance: 50 Meters — professional pressure test recommended before swimming

This reference suits collectors seeking the classic 36mm Day-Date proportions without the substantial investment of solid gold. It performs reliably in formal and business environments, provided the plating is kept clear of harsh abrasives.

QF Edition — Presidential Bracelet

The reference 128239-0023 presents a distinct challenge for horological replicas due to its intricate gradient dial and specific case profile. The QF edition addresses these technical demands by combining precise 904L Oystersteel machining with an accurate dial lacquering process, establishing a reliable benchmark for 36mm Day-Date collectors.

At the core of this model operates the Clone 3255 movement. Unlike standard ETA-based clones, this caliber features a day and date complication with instantaneous switching and unrestricted rapid-setting capabilities. Operating at 28,800 vph, the mechanism delivers stable timekeeping with a power reserve of approximately 36 hours.

The 36mm monobloc middle case is milled from 904L stainless steel, polished to mimic the visual profile of the genuine white gold counterpart. The focal point remains the gradient blue dial, which transitions cleanly into a deep #003A70 navy tone toward the chapter ring. The fluted bezel and concealed folding crown clasp complete the authentic architectural profile.
