The ARF Rolex Day-Date 40mm advanced edition has arrived, and it’s a masterpiece replica that any Rolex enthusiast must consider. This classic has been impeccably cloned using the integral 3255 movement, staying true to the original’s specifications, unlike the commonly used market-standard 2834 movement.
It took several days and countless adjustments to perfect every detail — from the case thickness to the dial’s markers, whether it’s diamond or Roman numerals, to the curves and finishes of the hands, the sizing of the bracelet’s components, and the precise matching of the plating color. The goal was to present a true replica that captures the spirit of the 1:1 original.
Key improvements include the thickness, now at 12.2 mm, identical to the genuine model. The elongated diamond markers have been refined to match the genuine dimensions, including the structure on the face and bottom (accompanied by detailed images).
In terms of plating, the genuine color isn’t a standard like 1N16 or 2N18. Instead, it was sent to the plating factory for color comparison, and a custom shade was developed to correspond precisely with the original. A nano protective layer was added to enhance durability, ensuring no color fading — even under non-human factors, it offers a guaranteed replacement. Detailed images are included for reference.
The bottom case features four corners with precious metal markings, which in the market versions are commonly laser etched; while the etching is clear, it can easily be identified as fake. ARF employs a press-mold and corrosion process to match the genuine article as closely as possible.
We promise that all components are interchangeable with genuine parts. If not, enjoy an unconditional refund or exchange whether used or unused, a unique guarantee not offered by any other factory in the market. Expect future detailed image comparisons. Seeing is believing; we invite all enthusiasts to assess the craftsmanship. ARF welcomes any feedback or suggestions for improvement, as we aim to advance together with our community!
