Description
QF Factory Rolex Day-Date 36mm Ref. 128238-0008
QF delivers a structurally precise 36mm case with a highly refined champagne sunburst dial, challenging established factories in the gold-plated sector.
Powered by Clone 3255 Movement
The Clone 3255 operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, delivering a smooth sweep for the seconds hand. It features the signature instantaneous day and date jump at midnight, avoiding the slow date-roll found in lower-tier movements. The inclusion of a stop-seconds mechanism allows for exact time setting against a reference clock.
卤10��15 s/day.
- �� Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- �� Complications: Centre hour, minute, seconds, instantaneous day and date

Technical Specifications
The 36mm case measures approximately 12.0mm thick with a 44mm lug-to-lug profile. The finishing alternates between highly polished case sides and brushed lug hoods.
The dial features precise sunburst brushing with applied 18K gold-plated markers. Chromalight luminescence is applied evenly, and the dial text exhibits correct kerning and depth.
The fluted bezel facets reflect light sharply, mimicking the light-play of solid 18K gold, with tooth profiles cut to exact 36mm proportions.
Constructed with semi-circular three-piece links, the bracelet features polished center links and brushed outer links. The concealed folding crown clasp locks with reassuring tension.
Why QF for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: ��Why not GMF?��
While GMF has long dominated the Day-Date sector, QF��s recent iterations offer a noticeably sharper fluted bezel profile and a more accurate champagne dial tone. The sunburst effect on the QF dial diffuses light more softly, avoiding the harsh metallic glare that occasionally affects GMF��s champagne variants.
Full Disclosure: The day wheel typography on the QF can appear marginally thicker than genuine under macro inspection, and the watch lacks the heavy mass of solid 18K gold (~125g vs ~170g+).

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the QF Day-Date 36 feature an instantaneous date change at midnight?
A: Yes, the Clone 3255 movement replicates the genuine function, providing an instantaneous jump for both the day and date apertures at midnight rather than a slow roll.
Q: How does the 18K yellow gold plating compare to the genuine reference 128238?
A: QF uses a factory-applied 18K yellow gold plating over a 904L Oystersteel base. While the color tone is highly accurate to Rolex��s proprietary yellow gold, it lacks the mass of solid gold, resulting in a significantly lighter watch overall.
Q: Can the Presidential bracelet be resized easily?
A: The bracelet uses standard screw pins similar to the genuine article. A high-quality 1.6mm hollow-ground screwdriver is required to avoid stripping the gold-plated screw heads during adjustment.
Q: What is the main visual flaw on this specific QF Day-Date model?
A: The most notable discrepancy is the day wheel typography. Under macro inspection, the font weight on certain days is marginally bolder than the genuine Rolex print, though this is difficult to spot on the wrist.
