It DOES Have a White Gold Bezel...
In Response To: 3575.20 Bezel ()

: Do any of you readers know if all the 3575.20
: bezels are made of 18k White Gold?

: The catalogs and Omega website just say,
: "White Dial" but nowhere do they
: say "18k White Gold Bezel," which
: I see in a lot of on-line auctions when
: describing the timepiece.

: Some clarification would be great! Thanks.

Yes, the bezel is definitely white gold on model 3575.20. That's one of the reasons it costs so much more than the black dialed Moonphase model ($5400 compared to $4250). You pay extra for the white gold bezel and fancier dial. Interestingly, the black dial model (3576.50) has a sapphire caseback, while the more expensive 3575.20 does not. I guess Omega figures a white gold bezel and nicer dial is enough to justify the extra $1150!!!

Cheers,
John
