this explain the mystery

Recall that I computed the volume of the RM010 case based upon a difference between the weighings of my titanium RM010 and a friend's white gold RM010. Although I weighed mine precisely to within 1/100 of a gram, it seems my friend's weighing was not so precise. So, I estimated the area of the case surface directly (25.875 cm2) and multiplied by a more precise measurement of the case thickness (1.7mm) to get a total volume of 4.4 cc, as opposed to the 8 cc estimated from the weighing differences.

After taking into account the difference in case sizes between RM010 and RM035, the RM010 case in titanium weighs 19.79g and the RM035 in magnesium-aluminum weights7.41g, so there is a savings of 19.79g - 7.41g=12.38g by going with the lighter case materials.

After going through the rest of the calculations, it seems the RM035 should weigh 33.6g.

This is very close to the 35g mentioned on this forum for RM035. Is it possible that the unique one that was auctioned and weighs 41g is heavier than the regular edition RM035?

Does anyone know what are the differences if any between the RM035 that was auctioned and the regular edition RM035?
