Yacht-Master 16622

Does anyone know if the SS/PT (16622) has a solid platinum bezel or is the insert platinum and the bezel is SS.
Thanks

Actually there is a Platinum blasted insert which is embedded inside a serrated Platinum bezel. The insert can be separated from the bezel, but only with a very specialised tool which most ADs would not have.

Looks like someone lifted these pics and put them on their website. Better dialog with these though. Thanks for sharing.
