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. That would be quite the story if RM ended up with a small surplus of 027-02 movements and decided there were margins to be padded .
I appreciate the first-hand anecdote on your 055, and am surprised to hear they would not honour the request. To date it seems RM enjoyed indulging requests to help owners have something which felt even more special. Perhaps that changes over time. Even more surprising is that it cannot be performed at a boutique!

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...
