QF Factory Heavyweight Edition — President Bracelet
QF Factory’s iteration of the Day-Date 40 Ref. 228236 addresses the historical weight deficit of precious metal replicas by utilizing a high-density tungsten alloy construction. Weighing in at 185.6 grams, this model effectively bridges the tactile gap between standard 904L Oystersteel and the substantial presence of genuine platinum.
Driven by the clone Caliber 3255, this mechanism replicates the authentic Rolex architecture, featuring instantaneous day and date changes at midnight. The high-beat 28,800vph escapement ensures a smooth seconds hand sweep, while adherence to strict structural limits yields a practical power reserve of approximately 36 hours.
The 40mm case features a platinum-plated fluted bezel and houses the exclusive ice blue diagonal motif dial. Protected by a sapphire crystal with a 2.5x magnification Cyclops lens, the dial exhibits crisp laser-etched deconstructed patterns and precise Chromalight application on the indices and hands.
- Movement: Caliber 3255 Super Clone — Approximately 36 hours
- Case Material: Tungsten Alloy Heavy Version, 40mm diameter, ~47.4mm lug-to-lug, 185.6g

This weighted Day-Date appeals to collectors who prioritize physical presence and tactile authenticity over standard steel replicas. The subdued dial tone provides a versatile aesthetic suitable for both formal and elevated casual environments.
