·There has been a lot of us here wondering what the story is with the white and the silver coloured sub dials on the a385. Well the other day I was browsing through my data base of el primero pictures and I came across this a385 with white sub dials, and lo and behold underneath the white paint there is a silver colour coming through, the white paint is starting to rub off when the hands were replaced after a service. I am now convinced that the silver a385 were all white at some point and the white paint has rubbed off when the dials were cleaned, but the black numbers stay on the sub dials because they are made of a more glossier harder paint. From what I gather I think all these dials are made of brass and I can only presume that the silver colour is an undercoat .Have a look at the pictures and let me know what you think.
