Hello experts of Rolex-es! I have gotten this Rolex submariner 6536/1, serial number in the range 398XXX. I took it to Rolex to authenticate, they said that it is original. I googled this model online, I found out that there is several variations of the watch. Do the hands match the dial of my watch? I am not very sure about it. Some hands are gold, while mine are stainless steel?

Steel hands were used up until the 70's

Originally this watch would have gilt (gold plated) hands, at least hour and minute hands anyway. It's possible that a watchmaker has cleaned up the original hands and rubbed off the gold plating.
