I just found out that the dial markers on a SS Submariner are white gold (bordering the luminova), are the hands gold also?

The hands and markers are made of 18K white gold,on modern day SS Subs.

AFAIK, all Rolex hands are gold, either WG or YG.

All WG or YG as the case might be. Even WG on the SS/Pt. YM.

Well, Russel, for the bloody prices they charge, they jolly well better give us gold....nothing less will be tolerated. In any case, the quantity (i.e. weight) of gold is so pittance, that it hardly matters.

Anybody know what year they started using white gold hands? Have a sub from around 1990 and not sure what would be the correct hands. Thanks

Anyone know the year, or can help find a link that shows when they started using white gold hands and indices on thensub? Thanks

Why bring a old thread up from 2006 when the question was answered in this thread.Its simple if your watch has gold marker surrounds the hands will be gold too just like most all the Rolex watches from around 1988/9 on.
