AR Factory Edition — Presidential Bracelet
This ARF release of the m128238 represents a significant horological benchmark for 36mm replicas by integrating a high-density tungsten alloy core. Weighing in at a substantial 186.6 grams, it definitively resolves the historic weight discrepancy that has long plagued gold-plated Day-Date alternatives, offering a wrist presence that feels properly substantial. The tactile feedback matches the visual execution, making it a standout release in the current market.
Powered by the automatic Clone 3255 caliber, this model replicates the sophisticated instantaneous day and date jump mechanism at midnight, a hallmark of the flagship Rolex complication. The movement architecture features stop-seconds for precise time setting and operates with a highly efficient bidirectional winding rotor to maintain its power reserve during regular wear.
The 36mm case is machined from premium 904L Oystersteel, layered with heavy 18K yellow gold plating to accurately match the iconic fluted bezel and three-piece President bracelet. Its gradient green Roman dial captures the signature ombré effect, darkening precisely toward the minute track while hosting sharply applied 18K-plated Roman numerals. The 2.5x magnification Cyclops lens sits precisely aligned over the date aperture, treated with an anti-reflective coating to ensure maximum legibility.
