The white dial white gold Day-Date 40 is the cleanest version of the President, and VS Factory (VSF) has it as a V2 upgraded batch. Same 228239 reference as the blue and olive models, but this one goes pure white with Roman numerals. It's the most restrained the Day-Date gets, all white metal and a flat white dial with nothing but the Romans and the day window to break it up.

The dial. Pure white with faceted Roman numerals polished to a mirror shine. It's a high-contrast, clean look, and the white metal markers read sharp against the flat white surface. This is the version of the Day-Date that leans the furthest into understatement, no color and no diamonds, just the Romans and the day window.
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, which is the difference between this and a Datejust.
The case and bezel. The 40mm case is polished 904L meant to pass for white gold, with the fluted bezel done the same way. The polish is what carries it, since white gold is warmer and heavier looking than bare steel.
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 glare.
The bracelet. President bracelet, semi-circular three-piece links, more substantial 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 pure white Roman dial, and VS Factory (VSF) got the two things that matter here right: the DD3255 with the simultaneous day and date flip, and that clean white dial with the faceted Romans. The V2 crystal is a small but real upgrade. Genuine reference, no fantasy caveat. It's the quietest Day-Date in the lineup, and for some people that's the whole point.
