I notice that Rolex Yachtmaster 16622 has gold surrounding its indices ( maxi dial ). Does Submariner 16610 or new Sub has gold surrounding its indices too? Is this pure gold?
Thanks!
-
Rolex M16622 is platinum bezel, Platinum dial. :Jumping:
-
if i'm not mistaken the subs are white gold indices. i read it in the rolex report.
this was right after the matt dials were replaced back during transition 16800.
-
i believe the indices for Rolex are either yellow or white gold. the hands are also gold and the coloured hands are painted.
-
yes they are white or yellow gold plated ...according to the case material, as i read.
That is why the modern t-dialed Rolex watches does not have much hands corrosion problems unlike other brands. atleast that is what i was told.
-
that's true about corrosion, i believe the tritium rolex uses is also a bit different from pam.
the color seldom fade and patina. very rarely u see a very orangy font. usually quite white or snow white even for a tdial.

yes bro, that's what i'm talking about. very rare u see this sort.
i've been after a 16800 matte dial with strong patina for AGES...
found one in HKG, but the price is higher than a BNIB 116610LV LOL.
is pretty crazy when u have patina+matt dial+sub case+prestine condition = SUPER PRICE
