Product Overview
The Rolex Day-Date 40 with the Black Diagonal Motif Dial (228239-0004) is for collectors who want something more than a plain color. The dial features a laser-engraved cross-hatch pattern that reflects light in different directions, creating a dynamic “3D” effect.
VS Factory (VSF) has perfectly replicated this complex texture. Combined with the stealthy White Gold look and the 182g heavy Tungsten case, this is one of the most sophisticated replicas on the market.
Why VSF Crushes the Competition
1. The “Diagonal Motif” Textured Dial
Ordinary replicas print this pattern, looking flat and cheap.
- VSF Craftsmanship: VSF uses Laser Etching to cut the diagonal lines into the sunburst base. The result is a dial that has real depth and texture. As you move your wrist, the “grid” pattern appears and disappears—just like the Gen.
2. The “Zero-Compromise” Weight (182g & 12.1mm)
Competitors thicken the case back to 12.7mm+ to add weight.
- The VSF Difference: VSF keeps the original 12.1mm thickness while reaching a massive 182g. It sits low and flat on the wrist.
3. Exclusive Dandong 3255 Movement
- The Engine: VSF uses the Custom Dandong 3255. It shares the same stable lineage as the legendary VS3235.
- Performance: It offers a true 72-hour power reserve. The Day and Date discs flip instantly at midnight.
4. Correct “White Gold” Tone
- VSF Color: VSF uses a custom plating tone that mimics the warm hue of 18K White Gold. It’s not the harsh grey of steel, but a luxurious, precious metal tone.
5. Seamless Bracelet Construction
VSF uses Integrated Molding for the tungsten links. There are no visible gaps on the side of the bracelet links. It feels solid, heavy, and premium.

5. FAQ
Q: Is the dial printed or engraved?
A: It is Laser Etched. The VSF dial features the correct physical texture. You can see the depth of the lines under a loupe, unlike cheaper printed versions.
Q: Why is the VSF version better than GMF?
A: Thickness. GMF Tungsten versions are often 12.7mm or thicker. VSF is the correct 12.1mm. Also, VSF uses the Dandong 3255 movement (72h reserve), which is far superior to the movement used by GMF.
Q: How heavy is it compared to the Gen?
A: The Gen is ~205g. The VSF is ~182g. It is currently the heaviest and most realistic feeling replica on the market.
Q: Is the movement reliable?
A: Yes. The Dandong 3255 is based on the VS3235 architecture, which has a near-zero failure rate in the industry. It is a true “Super Clone” movement.
