8 = 18k Yg
The way the bezel looks like it could be somewhat consistent with other jewelry finishes of that time period (1980's per the serial #). It's like a smoothed out nugget finish. It's not bark, but I like it! lol
Here's my concern: were there champagne stick dials from that period that are like this one in that it doesn't have the little white dots at the end of the sticks? All the ones I've seen do, but I admittedly have not seen that many and I am by no mean experienced in such matters....

you are correct about the last number meaning 18k gold case.
The plot thickens...
