The Rolex Day-Date 40 228238-0061 green Roman is the 40 mm yellow gold President with a green lacquer dial, and this super clone keeps the applied gold Roman numerals at the even hours with baton markers between them. Green lacquer behaves differently from the sunray greens elsewhere in the collection: it returns light as one flat sheet of colour instead of fanning out from the centre, so the dial looks almost black at an angle and vivid green when it faces a lamp. The case, fluted bezel and President bracelet follow the 18k yellow gold original, and the clone Cal. 3255 inside runs for 70 hours off a full wind.

Rolex Day-Date 40 228238-0061 green Roman: dial, bezel and bracelet

Rolex pairs this green lacquer dial with yellow gold only, and that pairing is what the -0061 suffix stands for. The numerals, the baton markers, the hands and the printed minute track are all gold, so nothing on the dial carries a second colour apart from the white day aperture at 12 and the date disc at 3. Next to the green baguette card in the same row, this one keeps plain gold markers under the same fluted bezel, and that marker choice is the whole difference between a formal Day-Date and a dressed-up one. The rest of the yellow gold dials, from champagne to white to nacre, sit together in the Day-Date collection.

Rolex Day-Date 40 228238-0061 green Roman Replica FAQ

Is the 228238-0061 green dial lacquer with Roman numerals?

Yes, the -0061 is the green lacquer dial with applied gold Roman numerals, and our copy reproduces both. Lacquer is what gives it that flat, saturated finish, while the sunray greens in the collection belong to other references and scatter light outwards from the dial centre.

What do the two options cost on the 228238-0061 green Roman?

The super clone is $899 with the clone Cal. 3255 and 70 hours of reserve, and the A-grade with a Japanese automatic movement is $349. Case, dial and bracelet are shared between them, and our Day-Date President gold guide sets out what the gold finish on a clone really is.
