Gold in Tudor Black Bay hands and dial markers?

Hello everyone, I have a question that I've been wondering about for a while, and can't find any info elsewhere, hoping someone can help:

I have a 2016 Tudor Heritage Black Bay M79230N (2nd-generation BB black bezel, 41mm, the first one to have in-house movement), and one thing I've been wondering is, do the hands and dial markers have real gold?

Under light, they look extremely brilliant and beautiful, so it really makes me think that they are gold. But after some decent Google searching I can't find any discussions on it about my model.

Does anyone know?

I believe they are gold plated.

Rolex hands are solid gold.

Bb blue's hands and markers are white gold. The others are glided gold but not too sure the base material.

I'd be surprised if this were true. Gold for one but not others. Do you have a source other than you were told?

Bingo.


Tudor is below omega and Rolex.


It's not the equivalent of either.

Why do you feel the need to turn this into a hierarchy of watch brands?
