Rolex Day-Date II 218206

[rrari1]

How accurate are the Rolex Day-Date II Reps.  I recently saw a 218206 with Ice Blue dial in an AD, and it is a really beautiful if awfully expensive watch.  The Day Date is only available in precious metals.

 

I love the president bracelet.

 

Do the reps have hallmarks etc on them?  What are the big tells?  I have done a search and it seems the Day date is not a very popular watch on the forum.

 

I am guessing there will be a fairly obvious weight difference, but what else should I look for?

The 'swiss made' are printed a tad too high imo. Hallmarks are inaccurate as they are using gold marked cases, crown is not the twinlock platinum crown.

Thanks TT.  Are the Datewheels OK in the rep or do they need overlays?  Is the magnification of the cyclops a tell also?

That i'm not so sure, they look decent though. As with most rollie rep, a good dwo will definitely make it look better.
