Rolex Submariner 5513 Gilt

Did any of these gilt 5513's have gilt hands ?
I have a 1.2 m 1965 that seems to have gilt hands, or someone has painted them too

convincingly emulate that .

Mine has gilt hands like yours.

A better pic for the experts , I still suspect these hands have gold glitter on them !
The dial is not as good as it looks as 40% is "crackled" from where the chapter ring would be.
Fortunately it is not noticeable without a loupe.

I think its just rust and lume aging. There are ways to tamper with hands to get this effect, but it also does happen naturally. The fact that hands and markers don't match is also quite normal.
