SS GMT-IIc

I believe the numbers on the bezel are platinum filled, but I am getting mixed information about the number indicators and hands. What are they made of? Thanks!

And for TT GMT's the letters are YG filled. The entire bezel was blasted with the precious metal and polished until the black surface is shiny leaving the deposited metals in the grooves/numbers untouched
