The Day-Date 40 m228396TBR-0002 pairs an ice-blue sunray dial with ten baguette-cut diamond hour markers, then carries that icy white-metal look through a trapeze-diamond bezel and full President bracelet. This is the larger Day-Date for a buyer who wants the dial and bezel to command attention, while the platinum case and concealed Crownclasp keep the overall line refined at the wrist. The 40mm proportion gives the calendar layout more visual room than the compact 36mm alternative.
The m228396TBR-0002 puts the signature ice-blue sunray dial in a 40mm Day-Date case, where the color has enough room to show the sweep of the finish rather than reading as a small accent. Ten baguette-cut diamond hour markers add a crisp, architectural pattern across the dial, while the arched day window and Cyclops date retain the familiar Day-Date layout.
Its 950 platinum bezel carries forty closely set trapeze-cut diamonds, so the case has a sharper frame than a fluted or smooth-bezel Day-Date. That geometry matters because it echoes the straight-cut hour markers instead of fighting the dial. This configuration suits formal wear, but it also works as a high-visibility daily piece for someone who prefers white metal to yellow or rose gold.
The solid 950 platinum President bracelet uses the rounded three-piece link form that gives the Day-Date its distinctive volume. Polished center links contrast with satin-finished outer links, and the concealed Crownclasp lets the bracelet read as one continuous band once fastened. The bracelet is not background detail here; it gives the 40mm case the weight and continuity needed to balance the diamond bezel.
This GS Factory Edition uses the Clone 3255 automatic movement specified for the Day-Date configuration. The buyer-facing priorities are the 40mm proportion, the ice-blue dial's sunray pattern, the consistent setting line around the bezel and the clean transition from case to President bracelet. It is a deliberate choice for a collector who wants the full Day-Date silhouette and a stone-set focal point without changing to a warmer metal tone.
The m128236-0018 Ice Blue Dial 36mm keeps the ice-blue Day-Date idea more compact and leaves the bezel visually quieter. Choose this m228396TBR-0002 when the larger dial, baguette diamond markers and trapeze-diamond bezel are the reason for the watch; choose the linked 36mm when a smaller, less dominant wrist profile matters more.
Before dispatch, our QC team reviews the ice-blue sunray tone, ten baguette-marker alignment, day and date centering, Cyclops placement, trapeze-diamond bezel pattern, President bracelet finish, Crownclasp action and case-to-bracelet fit.
The 40mm ice-blue sunray dial, ten baguette-cut diamond hour markers and trapeze-diamond bezel give it a more architectural Day-Date profile.
The m128236-0018 uses a smaller 36mm case with a cleaner bezel treatment, while this m228396TBR-0002 brings the ice-blue configuration into a larger 40mm, diamond-framed format.
Its rounded three-piece links, polished center links, satin outer links and concealed Crownclasp give the platinum case a continuous, formal line at the wrist.
