At BaselWorld 2019, the Rolex Day-Date 36 finally got to replica rolex submariner watches catch up with its big brother, the Day-Date 40. For four years, those privileged with their eyes and wallets set at the Day-Date 36, had to wait for this high-prestige range to receive all those useful and impressive technical updates that the 40mm wide version had had all along. With 2019, these technical improvements, some minute changes to the case, as well as notable new dial options have all arrived to the Day-Date 36, along with some notable limitations, as well.
It was back in 2015 that we debuted the new Day-Date 40 that, in turn, first introduced Rolex’s new generation of 32xx calibers, Superlative Chronometer -2/+2 second daily accuracy tests, and the ceramic inserts in between the precious metal links of its President bracelet. Those, in a nutshell, made for a major product update, and it was just a matter of time that the 36mm version received them. On that note, I had expected the Day-Date 36, “the be all, end all” prestige watch of Rolex, to not lag behind quite so long — but it has to be said that four years, by Rolex standards, is but a blink of an eye.
We’ll get to discussing those technical updates soon, but I’ll begin with what I think actually is a lot more important to anyone looking to buy a Day-Date 36 in the foreseeable future — and that is configurability. For the time being, the new Day-Date 36 is not available in platinum — again, a real head-scratcher and something that will surely have to be rectified soon. For now, it can only be 18k yellow gold, white gold, or Everose gold.
Another important thing to note is that, with this update, all previous Day-Date 36 dial options are gone with the wind. We have new ones, three for the Everose, four for the white gold, and six for the replica watches uk yellow gold version — plus all three metals have an extra option of a pavé set dial with “rainbow” sapphire indices. That, I think, is a bummer, as many enticing dial options had come to be for the Day-Date 36 over the years.
