The Rolex Day-Date in yellow gold is one of the most recognizable luxury watches on earth, and VS Factory (VSF) builds this one on a 904L case with a yellow gold plating over the top. It's the classic president-bracelet dress watch, this time with a textured green dial and baguette-cut markers. One note before anything else: the reference here is listed as 139000, which isn't a genuine Rolex Day-Date number. The real 36mm yellow gold Day-Date is 128238. Treat this as a fantasy or mislabeled reference, not a catalog piece. Everything else below is about the watch itself.

The movement. DD3255 is a true-clone architecture of the modern Rolex day-date caliber, not a decorated plate sitting on top of a cheap base. The day and date both flip over instantly at midnight, the calendar runs on its own independent gear train, and the winding is smooth. The 72-hour reserve is the part worth caring about, since it means the watch is still running if you leave it off for a weekend.
The dial. Textured green with baguette-cut markers, which are simulated diamonds, not real ones. It's a high-contrast look, and the green is the reason this particular config stands out from the usual champagne or silver Day-Dates. The day and date windows are cut clean so the printing sits level in the apertures.
The case and bezel. Milled 904L with a yellow gold plating to stand in for solid 18k. The fluted bezel is the signature detail, with angled facets that catch light the same way solid gold does. From a normal viewing distance it reads as yellow gold, and the weight feels right because the steel underneath is full-mass.
The bracelet. The President bracelet, three-piece semi-circular links in plated 904L. The center links are polished and the outer links satin-brushed, which is the correct finish split. The concealed Crownclasp keeps the bracelet looking like one continuous band, with no visible clasp folding over the wrist.
The takeaway. This is a yellow gold Day-Date clone with a green baguette diamond dial, and VS Factory (VSF) did the two things that matter most: the DD3255 movement with a real instant day-date jump and the President bracelet with the correct center-link polish. The reference number is the one caveat. 139000 doesn't exist in the Rolex catalog, so if you buy it, buy it knowing you're getting a custom dial on a made-up reference number, not a genuine configuration.
