ARF Edition — President Bracelet
The ARF iteration of the mid-size DateJust 31mm reference m278288rbr-0006 stands as a notable achievement in replica horology, specifically regarding the tone of its 18k yellow gold plating and the execution of the gem-set bezel. While many factories struggle with the proportions of the 31mm case, ARF maintains strict adherence to the genuine profile, offering a compelling alternative for collectors seeking a smaller, historically accurate footprint.
Operating inside is the clone caliber 2236, engineered to replicate the basic architecture and crown-setting functions of the genuine Rolex movement. It features a rapid date setting mechanism and stop-seconds for precise time synchronization, delivering a power reserve of approximately 36 hours.
Constructed from a core of 904L Oystersteel and heavily plated in 18k yellow gold, the case measures 31mm in diameter with a refined 10.9mm thickness and a total weight of 82.4 grams. The rich green dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with the signature 2.5x Cyclops lens and correct anti-reflective coating.
