Tony, known as aperna on WatchProSite, shares a significant moment for any collector: receiving 'the call' for a highly anticipated timepiece. His post, featuring the Rolex Day-Date 40mm reference 228239, captures the excitement and visual splendor of acquiring such a distinguished watch. This article delves into the community's reaction to this horological milestone.
The Rolex Day-Date reference 228239 represents the 40mm iteration within the Day-Date collection, manufactured from 2015 to present. This reference is positioned as part of the Day Date 40mm series, offering the expanded case size compared to traditional Day-Date proportions.
The 228239 features a 40mm case constructed from 18k white gold, paired with a fluted bezel and sapphire crystal. The watch houses the automatic caliber 3255 movement, providing 70 hours of power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 100 meters, and the timepiece is fitted with the President bracelet.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking a contemporary Day-Date in precious metal with the larger 40mm case format. The white gold construction and fluted bezel configuration place it within Rolex's dress watch category. The caliber 3255 and extended power reserve represent the technical specifications available in current production Day-Date references.
You’re reminding me of an Andrew who used to post here, who did autopsies and dissections and creeped me out with his talk of scalpels and surgical tools and “samples"
A bit too late I'm afraid
Maybe that’s what zombies are… people on the ‘list’ who pass away before getting the call… wandering the earth in search of answers (and watches!)
working well. Maybe a bit too much?! Your hands have become too thin!🤣
and watch to try on 😁🤪....
