Sub Ceramic Bezel vs. GMT Ceramic Bezel difference?

Anyone?

I heard that the new Sub Ceramic bezel contain platinum or white gold, is it true? is it also the same case for the GMT?

It's used to fill in the numbers on the bezel. There's very little of it used, and it's on both the Sub-C and the GMT.

Yes its very similar to a thin PVD coating and a very very very tiny amount of any precious metal, words like gold and platinum sound expensive.

The cases are ever so slightly different dimensions.
