The pearl surround

I have an SDc. It is my understanding that the hands and the metal surrounding the hour lumes on the dial are made of white gold.

What about the metal surrounding the lumed pearl on the ceramic bezel?

White gold? Steel? Anyone know for sure?

It's made of gold. In your case white gold.

Yes its white gold just like the hands and dial marker surrounds but be are talking about a very very small amount of gold weight wise.The lettering on the ceramic inserts are either gold or platinum but its just a thin coating very similar to a PVD coating.
