The Rolex Day-Date 36 128239 silver diamond dial is a silver sunray face, not mother of pearl: the glow comes from a brushed metal finish that radiates from the centre, and the eight round stone-set markers with baguettes at 6 and 9 are what add the sparkle. The case and President bracelet are 18k white gold at 36 mm, with the fluted white gold bezel that separates a Day-Date from a Datejust at a glance. Silver on white metal is the most monochrome combination the reference offers.

Silver and nacre are confused constantly in listings, and the difference is easy to see once you know where to look: a sunray dial changes brightness as a single sheet when the wrist turns, while nacre breaks into coloured zones that move independently. Under a lamp this dial goes from near-white at one edge to graphite at the other, with no pink or green anywhere in it.

How the Rolex Day-Date 36 128239 silver diamond dial reads

Because the dial, the markers, the hands and the metal are all in the same cool register, the stones carry the whole contrast and the watch stays quiet until light hits it directly. Its closest neighbour in our row is the same sunray dial with plain batons, which is the version to pick if the stones are not wanted. Our super clone drives the clone Cal. 3255 with a 70-hour power reserve; inside the clone Day-Date build covers the dial, hand-setting and bracelet checks we run before shipping. The whole reference list is in our Day-Date collection.

Rolex Day-Date 36 128239 silver diamond dial Replica FAQ

Is the 128239 silver diamond dial mother of pearl?

No, it is a silver sunray metal dial with stone-set markers. The nacre version is a different card in the same 128239 reference, and it shows pink, green and blue flashes that a silver dial never produces.

What does the A Grade 128239 silver diamond dial cost?

$349, with a Japanese automatic inside; the super clone with the clone Cal. 3255 and 70-hour reserve is $849. The dial, the stone setting, the white gold case and the President bracelet are the same on both.
