How many of those models are made with gold?


[size=4Hi Mike. I reviewed the thread and saw your query. My answers:
Check out the last number of the model for the content.

0= steel
1= steel and everose gold (reddish)
2= steel and platinum
3= steel and yellow gold
4= steel and white gold
5= all everose gold
6= all platinum
7= nothing yet...maybe Rolex is reserving this for a new and upcoming element
8= all yellow gold
9= all white gold

thus a Rolex Sub model 116610 (ends in 0) is all steel. The model 116613 is steel and yellow gold, so forth and so on.
also, each rolex has gold in it. the gold is located around the edges of the indeces, edges of the hands, edges of the meatballs...even if the model is all steel. in this case, the 116610 may be all stainless steel but the parts mentioned above, have the gold. of course, a yellow gold model will have yellow gold edges on indeces etc and a white gold model will have white gold edges etc.

Hope this helps, amigo.
