Two tone bracelet centre links

Are they solid gold or are they pieces of gold bonded to SS links?
Thanks

In the newer models, they are completely solid. In the older models, they are hollow, but in both cases they are both made of solid 18K gold.

Thank you SaddleSC.
I asked because I believe the Breitling TT's are gold bonded to SS links.
I suspected Rolex wouldn't do that :-)

Breitliing's are "rolled" gold - Rolex is solid. Just traded a Breitling Chronomat Evo TT I wore 3 times because I just couldnt deal with the fact the middle links were not solid. Recently purchased a TT DJII and could not be happier - solid as can be.
