My perfect replica Rolex Day-Date ref. 18238 is not a new watch. In fact, this particular model I have here dates to 1991. In this new series called Exploring Evergreens, we review watches that have been around for over a decade — or long enough to feel ubiquitous — and ask ourselves whether they have managed to stand the test of time. We’ll address whether they’re still relevant, how they feel today, and, ultimately, if they’re worth their current prices. In some cases, when the authors own/have owned the specific pieces, they’ll dig into how their feelings about them have evolved and whether or not they still deserve a spot in their collections. We’ll cover anything from the truly timeless and budget-friendly classics to vintage and neo-vintage heavy hitters. Today’s article is about a watch in the last category, the yellow gold 1:1 fake Rolex Day-Date with the President bracelet.

My love for the Day-Date
I have been a watch enthusiast (and collector) since the 1990s, and the Swiss movement fake Rolex Day-Date was always very high on my wishlist. I remember going into a local Rolex dealer in the early 2000s to try a Day-Date in white gold, and from that moment, I was hooked. It took me a while to decide to buy a gold Rolex Day-Date replica for sale, though, as I quickly realized it was a watch that would not go unnoticed.

But in 2022, coincidentally just a few moments after I visited the aaa quality replica Rolex headquarters in Geneva, a friend offered me his high quality fake Rolex Day-Date 18238 from 1991 in great condition, and I decided to go for it. And as soon as I had it on my wrist, I wished that I had bought one much sooner.

Exploring Evergreens: The Rolex Day-Date 18238
The Swiss movement replica Rolex Day-Date is a classic, and I consider it an icon (and I don’t use this word lightly). It debuted in 1956 and quickly became one of the most recognizable gold watches in the world. You can find an overview of the top super clone Rolex Day-Date’s history here. Reference 18238 came out in 1988 and replaced the 18038. It was in production until 2000 when Rolex introduced the Day-Date ref. 118238.

The 18238 was the first Rolex Day-Date fake online to have a quickset function for both the day and the date, making it very easy for the owner to adjust them. Although I love the earlier references as well, I opted for a double quickset. I also happen to own a high end copy Rolex Datejust ref. 1601 without a quickset date, and it’s quite bothersome to me, so a double quickset is very welcome indeed! Also, this is the last Day-Date reference to have the brushed finish on top of the lugs.

On the wrist
Every time I put the top quality replica Rolex Day-Date on my wrist, it feels as special as when I did that for the first time. Not many watches in my collection can give me that same sensation. The cheap super clone Rolex President bracelet is largely “to blame” for that, I would say, as it’s an impressive gold three-row bracelet that is incredibly comfortable. The concealed clasp makes it one of the most beautifully designed and constructed bracelets on the market, even today.
