Description
QF Factory Day-Date 40mm Ref. 228239 “Weighted” Edition
The Ultra-Heavy 185g Tungsten Series with Caliber 3255 Clone – The closest feel to White Gold on the market.
Powered by Super Clone 3255
The heart of this QF masterpiece is the true-clone Caliber 3255. Unlike older modifications based on ETA movements, this movement is built from the ground up to mimic the architecture of the Rolex 3255, ensuring the correct time-setting direction and instant day/date change at midnight.
- ✅ Power Reserve: Approx 70 Hours (Real-world usage typically 48-60h depending on winding).
- ✅ Functionality: Instantaneous Day & Date change (Double Quickset via Crown).
- ✅ Reliability: High-beat 28,800vph with enhanced shock absorbers.
Technical Specifications
Tungsten-Infused 904L
This is the critical differentiator. QF uses a Tungsten alloy inner case and bracelet links to achieve a total weight of 185g. Standard steel replicas weigh ~140g. This extra heft mimics the density of the genuine White Gold model.
Olive Green Sunburst
The specific shade of Olive Green (Rolex’s 60th Anniversary color) is notoriously hard to replicate. QF achieves the correct muted, sophisticated tone rather than a bright emerald, paired with sharp White Gold Roman numerals.
Sharp Fluted Profile
The fluted bezel features sharp, defined ridges that catch the light similarly to genuine gold, plated in platinum-tone to match the 228239 reference aesthetics.
12.2mm Thickness
Matching the genuine profile, the case sits slim on the wrist, sliding easily under a cuff, despite the added weight of the Tungsten construction.
🏆 Why We Chose QF for this Model?
Many clients ask: “Why not GMF?”
Here is the honest truth: GMF was the pioneer of Tungsten replicas, but their early batches hovered around 165g. QF (often utilizing similar supply chains but higher spec) pushes the weight to ~185g. For a Day-Date, the “luxury” experience is purely tactile. If the watch feels light, the illusion breaks. QF offers the best weight-to-accuracy ratio currently available.
Full Disclosure: While 185g is impressive, the Genuine White Gold 228239 weighs approximately 205-210g. QF is 90% there, which is noticeably heavier than standard steel (135g), but seasoned collectors may still spot the slight difference on a scale.

Common Questions about the QF Day-Date
Q: Does the gold plating fade on this model?
A: Since this model replicates the Ref. 228239 (White Gold), there is no yellow or rose gold plating to fade. It is steel-toned throughout, making it the most durable daily wearer in the Day-Date lineup.
Q: How does the weight compare to Gen?
A: The QF Weighted version is approx 185g. A standard steel rep is ~135g. The Genuine White Gold is ~205g. This gets you significantly closer to the “real” feeling on the wrist than standard replicas.
Q: What is the biggest difference compared to Gen?
A: Under macro lens, the laser etching on the rehaut (inner bezel ring) is slightly less deep than Rolex production, but the dial color and case dimensions are incredibly accurate.
