Often referred to as the “Presidential” because of how many Presidents have donned the watch, the Rolex Day-Date has become a very popular and fascinating tool. Since it is able to display the day of the week in twenty-six different languages, the watch has become an item that businessmen and women all over the globe can enjoy. Because the Day-Date I and Day-Date II are made with the same concept in mind, there aren’t too many differences between the two.
A replica Rolex Day-Date I was, most obviously, the first debut. This self-winding watch has a fluted bezel, a President bracelet, is waterproof to 330 feet and the size of the item is 36 millimeters. The Rolex Day-Date II is bigger, bolder, and a more contemporary version of the original Day-Date. This second version also has a fluted bezel, is self-winding, and is waterproof to 330 feet. The bracelet of the Day-Date II is called the “Super-President” and the size of the watch is 41 millimeters.
The replica Rolex Day-Date I is available in less expensive versions of white, yellow and everose gold and platinum. The Day-Date II is available for purchase in mock versions of platinum, yellow, white and everose gold, as well. Keep in mind that, when buying a replica, the precious metals are not necessarily ‘real’.
The biggest differences between the original and the newer version of the Day-Date are the size and style of the wristband. Since 36 millimeters is already considerably big on the wrist, adding five millimeters makes a huge difference. The Super President bracelet helps to accommodate the enlarged size of the overall watch replica.
Basically, the only difference between the Day-Date I and Day-Date II replicas is size of the entire tool.
