The white gold Day-Date 40 with the blue sunburst dial is the bright-dialed version of the stealth wealth President, and VS Factory (VSF) has it as a V2 upgraded batch. Same 228239 reference as the rhodium model, but this one goes with a blue sunburst and Roman numerals instead of the slate grey. It's the white metal take on a colored dial, which is a different feel from the yellow or rose gold blue dials.

The dial. Blue sunburst with faceted Roman numerals polished to a mirror shine. The blue is what gives this one its character, sitting against the white metal case in a way that reads cooler and more modern than a yellow gold blue dial would. The Romans catch light from several angles, which gives the dial some depth beyond the flat color.
The movement. The source text uses both DD3255 and VS3255 to describe the same movement. It's the Dandong 3255, a true clone of the modern Rolex caliber. Day and date both flip at midnight at the same time, matching the genuine article.
The case and bezel. The 40mm case is polished 904L meant to read as white gold, with the fluted bezel done the same way. VSF's polish is the key here, since white gold has a warmer, heavier look than bare steel and the finish has to fake that without any plating color to lean on.
The crystal. This is the V2 upgrade, marked by the red sticker. The sapphire is clearer edge to edge, and the cyclops has a better anti-reflective coating, so the day and date stay legible without the milky glare you get on cheaper clones.
The bracelet. President bracelet, semi-circular three-piece links, heavier than a Jubilee but dressier than an Oyster. It closes with the concealed Crownclasp.
The takeaway. This is the white gold Day-Date 40 with the blue sunburst dial, and VS Factory (VSF) got the two things that matter here right: the DD3255 with the simultaneous day and date flip, and that blue sunburst with the faceted Roman numerals. The V2 crystal is a small but real upgrade. Genuine reference, no fantasy caveat. If you want the white metal President with a colored dial instead of the rhodium or black, this is the one.
