·Hi all-- trying to figure out what exactly the hands are made of in my stainless steel Constellation 168.004 (cal. 561) below. The hands match the markers, and are a very pale yellow: much paler than yellow gold, but also noticeably yellower than steel (the dark infill in the photos is degraded radium lume)-- closer to the color of steel though.
I couldn't find the answer searching through here or on the amazing http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com. Cousins lists gold plated and stainless steel hands for this reference, while Jules Borel has "White" and "Yellow" ones. I actually have a set of the steel hands and one of the yellow gold second hands and the color of the existing hands and markers doesn't match either one.
Can anyone enlighten me? Thank you very much in advance!
