Corundum, or aluminium oxide (Al2O3) .
Seriously though, they are man-made/synthetic "rubies/sapphires." Doing a search on our site will lead you to a lot of good information about your Submariner, the 3135 movement (which actually has MORE than 31 Jewels, as you will learn), etc. A brief search led me to a couple threads you might find educational about your watch: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=67974 http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?p=909953 http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?p=1006592 http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=87042 http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=72315 http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=81318 http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=30746 Welcome to TRF!
