My understanding was that as Rolex use more base metal in the 18ct gold TT watches than the UK gold standard allows, therefore it has to advertise the watches as steel & yellow metal and not steel and 18ct.

However in Europe this is not the case and the watches are advertised as SS and 18ct gold.

Is this correct?

How are they advertised in the USA and other non EC countries?

Thanks.
