Paul Pierce watch spotting

AP ROO Rose Gold Novelty 26401RO vs 26400RO
Hi Guys,Not sure if this has already been mentioned, while shopping around for the Rose Gold Novelty, I noticed there's a renewed latest ref 26401RO for this model.Dig a bit and found out that the differences between the previous 26400RO is 6 grams lighter on the new Ref due to small change to the middle case to increase stability of the movement in the watch.There's also small price reduction(less ~2.5% on retail) for this new ref 26401RO given lesser 6 grams of gold. Cheers
