SS RO - which parts are made of precious metal?

So I will soon be posting an incoming thread and will finally be joining the AP club in about a week's time

In the meantime I have gone into extreme AP WIS mode

So I've been wondering about which parts of the steel ROs are made of precious metals or other "exotic" materials

AFAIK the bezel/case screws are made of white gold?

How about hour markers? White gold as well, like Rolex?

Movement rotor is made of 22K gold?

Please correct/add as necessary

Screws on bezel are white gold and hour batons and hands white gold as well. Rotor is 22K rose gold. Good luck with the purchase!

Are you getting a 15400, 15300 or 15202?
