Yachtmaster TT gold?!?

Hi guys and gals
I had a TT Yacht-master come in for a push pin replacement today
I was quite happy as Rolex's don't often come my way
However when I was inspecting it the bezel had some of the gold come off.
And it wasn't just the insert where it had worn away. It was also the ring/assembly. Now I was a bit hesitant, so to make sure it was a gen I popped the back and there was the trusty old cal 3135 beating away.
The serial numbers all were there and worked out it was about 1998-1999.
The gent had this watch from new and never had it serviced, so was a little upset when I told him it might not look real
The question I have though did Rolex ever plate their gold YM bezels? I've attached some iPhone pics, (she wasn't too happy with me taking photos).
Any info would be great thanks
