help figuring out specs for this Datejust 31
this watch was gifted to my wife by her mom Datejust 31 model 178274 purchased around Jan 2015 How can I tell if this is just steel only or perhaps two-tone white gold? if it is two-tone WG, would it just be the bezel that is gold? or mixed in the bracelet? Looking at the rolex website now, there are two-tone steel and white gold options but I can't tell what part is gold because it looks like the same color to me appreciate any help you can provide. |

The only thing that is white gold is the bezel.

Smooth/domed bezel = steel
Fluted (ridged) bezel = white gold True for all stainless DJs. |

As mentioned though, all fluted bezels are either white or yellow gold, and yours is obviously not yellow. Rolex does not make white gold, two tone bracelets, so, again, the model number ending in 4 says that this is a white gold TT model - but since they don't make TT white gold bracelets, the only thing white gold is the bezel.
