The Case

After seeing two different pictures of this watch posted over the weekend the first thing I noticed was the case. It's not the same case as the 27-02 it looks as if its the case from the RM35-01. All of the RM027's have 8 screws in the bezel while this one on the other hand has 10 not to mention the thickness of the case. I know people are saying it's a limited edition of 10 but to me it almost seems like a prototype that was thrown into an RM35-01 case kind of like the RM59-01 prototype was tested using the RM038 case. As for changing aesthetic pieces, I recently sent back an RM055 for service after the rubber piece of the crown split (they need to make a ceramic replacement option for the crown on manual wind RM's or figure out how to replace them in the boutiques) and I asked them if I could replace the white rubber with a red rubber crown to match the seconds hand but when I received the estimate back they told me that they are no longer doing that which surprised me because I have seen multiple RM055's and RM35-01's with non original colors.
