Technical question - dissimilar metals
I would like to know how Rolex avoid issues of galvanic action in watches with dissimilar metals, particularly the Submariner and the Sea Dweller, when they are immersed in sea water. Stainless steel and gold are far enough apart on the galvanic chart that a potential should be set up which could corrode the stainless.

The 904 steel is close in nobility to gold (TT) and titanium (DSSD). There isn't a big enough disparity to cause galvanic corrosion.

Wasn't 316 used in older models? How about them?
