116000 Dial Question

ImageUploadedByTapatalk1380480061.459041.jpg

Hi all, I was curious about the dial on my Rolex. I read that the hands and hour markers are made out of white gold. Is that true? Also, what is the crown made out of?

Thanks!

Hands and markers are made in WG and the crown is made in SS.

What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional
photographer, buy a flute and you own a flute.

The white gold prevents corrosion
