I've heard somewhere that the dial markers (white ones) and all the hands are made of platinum? is that true? anyone got any idea? thanks!
Won't be platinum, either rhodium plated or white gold for any markers and hands that are "shiny white metal" for all of Omega's non-precious metal watches.
I was told that on the 8500 movement and beyond the hands, hour markers, and 6, 9, 12 markers are all WG.
A local AD. I was told it was supposed to be in an effort to combat tarnishing/ageing. Sounds like I've been misinformed..?
Rhodium plated brass. Indices, numbers and logo. Hands as well. There was somewhere an official letter in one of the German fora. I prefer brass as a core material, it is lighter.
