The inner bezel
Appears to be missing a covering. The black NTPT is exposed in asia edition, whereas it is covered in this unique red piece below.
In the Asia edition, the exposed inner bezel makes the watch appear chunkier and the movement somewhat squashed, whereas in the original 027-02 and the red one below it feels more harmonious.
I often wonder if an owner of an LE like this could have certain aesthetic pieces of the watch swapped out - like the rubber cover of the winding crown, or inner bezel colour. A light blue or white would make the black NTPT of the asia edition really pop.
Always enjoy seeing these special editions, the personality of the watch can change dramatically with tweaks such as this.
Thanks, Colton

Yes!! Nailed it
My eye did not pick that up initially - but once you mentioned it, it became blatantly clear; this is an 035-01 case with the 027-02 movement squeezed into it. Seeing 3 'horns' on the case sides vs 2 paired with the tourbillon movement is rather peculiar....
Boutique service
It was pretty frustrating to be honest. If you look at pictures on social media or even listings online you can see that the rubber wears down on the crown fairly easily over time on manual wind RM's. I specifically told them that I only wanted the rubber...
there is also the red 27-02...
Don't know the number of produced models of this one... ...
