Actually, at least in Great Britain (where you have a great tradition of hallmarks), attaching/rolling/fusing (whatever you want to call it) gold to another piece of metal would VOID the "gold" designation. Instead such a combination is called "Mixed metal".
For the same reason you have the 18 kt / 750 hallmark on BOTH the underside of the case AND on the clasp of a DAY-DATE in SOLID gold (i.e. not gold fused to another metal). And therefore you do NOT have any hall marks on the TT Sub. Since hallmark rules do not allow this. I am not saying it is NOT 18 kt. gold on the TT Sub. I am saying that "gold" is just not the right designation as soon as it's is fused to another metal: It is "mixed metal"
