On some versions, they feature ceramic bezels, automatic movements, and dials with magnification lenses that are almost identical to those on real Rolex models.

For over fifty years, the Rolex President was exclusively available with a 36mm case. While there have been 39mm versions of the Day-Date, these were fitted with Pearlmaster bracelets and called Masterpiece Day-Date watches. Therefore, they are not considered true Rolex Presidential watches. 36mm was the classic size for the Day-Date since the very beginning but for some, it was too small for a men’s watch – even for a dress timepiece.

Early on in my career reviewing watches, I always found the Rolex Real vs Fake President to be a challenging watch to categorize. That is because the Day-Date does not fit into any of the traditional categories of watches that we tend to think of. It isn’t simple and basic enough to be a traditional dress watch, it isn’t built for specific physical activities even though it has the resistance of many sport watches, and its design isn’t inspired by any specific items that might put it in the category of an art or “design” watch. Despite its iconic status and massive global popularity, what exactly is the Rolex Day-Date President?

First unveiled in 1956, the Rolex President Day-Date has enjoyed a much sought-after status.

Exclusively made in gold and platinum, it was the first watch to indicate both the date and the day of the week in full on the dial. Its groundbreaking technology, paired with elegant and classic styling, has made it a perennial favorite.

In response to changing tastes, the traditional 36mm Day-Date now has a bigger sibling in the Rolex Day-Date 40, giving a contemporary take on the watch par excellence.

Therefore, in 2008, the Swiss watchmaker unveiled a noticeably larger Rolex President model fitted with a 41mm case named the Rolex Day-Date II. Then, seven short years later, Rolex replaced the Day-Date II with the slightly smaller Day-Date 40 model. Given their similar dimensions and styles, there can be some confusion as to how these two larger Day-Date watches differ from each other. So, let’s explore the differences and similarities between the Day-Date II and the Day-Date 40 to determine which Rolex President is the right fit for you.

The Oyster Perpetual Day-Date model is a legendary Rolex watch, which as its name suggests, is equipped with the day of the week and date indications through two separate windows.

This particular Rolex model has developed a cult following and has even accompanied the history of a few U.S. Presidents. Along with being the go-to watch of some presidents and other people of influence, the Day-Date bracelet is also called the President bracelet. It’s not hard to see why the Day-Date is more commonly known as the Rolex President or Rolex Presidential. 

The Day-Date is exclusively crafted in precious metals, such as gold and platinum, and Rolex positions it as its most prestigious timepiece. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the Rolex President is an expensive luxury watch. But, how much does a Rolex Day-Date cost? 

While the exquisite GMT always commanded respect from Rolex owners, the real breakthrough since the mid-2000s has been the emerging buyer passion for the GMT-Master II. Ceramic bezels, new movements, “super” cases, and hardcore nicknames like “Dark Knight” will do that for the Rolex Batman.

And speaking of the last, Rolex extended its winning streak and scored a smash-hit from out of the [black and] blue with the 2013 launch of the GMT-Master II 116710BLNR. Call it the “Dark Knight,” the “Rolex Batman,” or the “Black & Blue,” but this watch by any name is a timepiece of heroic stature.

Despite the myriad of colors, materials, details, and features seen on GMT-Masters over the years, the use of black and blue on the same bezel marks a first for the GMT. A quick mental review of prior editions flashes past the mind’s eye when this surprising fact is broached, but it holds up under scrutiny. There’s very little that’s truly new in the evolutionary world of Rolex design, but the Rolex Dark Knight represents a rare exception to the rule.One of the best things about owning a Rolex watch is wearing it and enjoying it every day. This daily, constant wear is one of the best ways you can care for your watch. While Rolex watches are famous for their durability and robustness, your Rolex will inevitably gain scratches and dings while you wear them.

When the current generation of the GMT-Master II case bowed in 2005, Rolex reinforced the wrist presence of its pilot watch without actually increasing the diameter of the case. In truth, the Geneva watchmaker walked a fine line between enlarging the case and maintaining the nominal diameter. Still the traditional 40mm at its narrowest points abreast of the bezel, the “super case” GMT wears and appears larger thanks to flared lugs, enlarged case shoulders, and massive crown protectors.

That was blunt enough, wasn't it? Like Eric, many male Rolex fans already preferred the 41-mm Day-Date 2 over the punier 36-mm President. Yes, the 36-mm Day-Date is considered Rolex's more “traditional” Presidential model - but that is no surprise given that the DD was introduced way back in 1956 and reigned supreme in its space for over 50 years; that is, until the release of the Day-Date II in 2008. However, given that the majority of watch fans (both male and female) have gravitated towards timepieces with larger case sizes over the last two decades, it's no surprise that the 41-mm Day-Date II became an overnight crowd favorite upon its release. Consequently, we cannot blame diehard DD2 fans like Eric for labeling the 40-millimeter release an abomination!

I’ve come up with a two-part answer to that question and it is that the Rolex Day-Date is both the quintessential men’s jewelry watch, and the quintessential masculine gold watch. Each part of the Rolex President theme is about combining core horological utility with a status-communicating showiness that isn’t meant to be particularly brash or assertive. Rolex seemed to hit on a design that said “look at me” without saying “look too closely.” The outcome is a product that clearly says “I have money and at least recognize good taste, but I’m also concerned about long-term value and functionality.”

And based on the feedback we have obtained from many customers, I would have to agree. On the prior Day-Date models, the eyes could graciously flow up the band, link by link, until their final destination, the fusion of the band and case. Stopping at this “finish line” allowed the bracelet to fulfill an important purpose: to showcase the central and most beautiful part of the watch. With the new Day-Date 40, this is not the case.

But don't let Eric change your mind about the new Rolex Day-Date 40. Add your comments to the YouTube video above.
