I wondered at first whether that second one was bad printing or just a blurry photo, but the hands are sharp. The reflective gold* reminds me of gilt in porcelain - Are these perhaps porcelain dials?

*-In my original message, I had first typed “gilt,” rather than reflective gold, but I know that gilt is a term of art in vintage Rolex, presumably not the same as these.
