This watch does not rely on gold to feel luxurious. It relies on color discipline — the blue is so cold that it looks like metal turned into light.
Why the Ice-Blue Sunburst Dial Is Treated Differently
In luxury watchmaking, this shade of blue is not supposed to look like paint. It should look metallic, as if the dial were carved from platinum and polished until the blue appeared naturally. Cheaper copies tend to use bright sky-blue paint. Higher-grade factories must use tight radial brushing so the color changes with angle — ice in low light, electric shine in strong light.
That shifting tone is what makes this dial feel expensive, even when the material isn’t.
Baguette Indexes: Sharp, Not Loud
Instead of oversized diamonds, this configuration uses slim baguette stones. They work like architectural accents rather than jewelry. They catch light only when you move your wrist. This is the opposite of the “bling” approach — it’s precision with discipline.
The message is: luxury without decoration.
Honest Comparison (Not Exaggerated or Over-Sold)
| Feature | This Super Clone (228206 Style) | Low-End Replicas | Genuine Ref. 228206 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ice-Blue Color | Metallic, gradient shifts | Flat painted sky-blue | Metallic lacquer + perfect sunburst |
| Bezel Cuts | Sharp, defined surfaces | Rounded or over-polished | Precision-cut platinum |
| Bracelet Feel | Smooth drape, solid links | Rattles, hollow feel | Denser weight (due to platinum) |
| Baguette Markers | Clean light reflection | Cloudy glass look | Perfectly aligned stones |
This build respects proportions and surface behavior. It doesn’t try to “fake wealth” — it imitates refinement.
Who Should Choose the Ice-Blue Day-Date Style?
This isn’t a watch for someone who wants a gold spotlight. It is for someone who prefers metal that looks cold, serious, and unmistakably premium. It’s subtle until light hits it — then it becomes almost hypnotic.
If gold says, “I’m valuable,”
platinum style says, “I don’t need to say anything.”
