Can you differentiate steel 914L from white gold ?

Some Rolex models are all made of white gold. How many of you can identify white gold and steel 914L with your naked eyes ? As white gold is much expensive than steel 914L, why is white gold not replaced by steel 914L ?

What is the advantage of using white gold to make the fluted bezel but not the steel 914 ? White gold is less resistant to scratch when comparing to steel 914L, am I correct ?

Thanks a lot
Chow
