Yes your band is hollow. Solid band started around P serial year 2000 or model number 118238 with six digits.

It's been beaten to death here. The new style pres. links are not solid thru the entire link it still has a whole bored for the pin. Old style they folded over solid gold for the link . Like Padi likes to say who said'' heaver is better''.
