Clarification from Omega's Webmaster

Just FYI...I received this statement from Omega's webmaster regarding why the Speedy Reduced is listed at 35.5mm in diameter:

In all the documents that are available I found the diameter 35.5 mm but when I measure the watch I also get a diameter of 39 mm. I forwarded your e-mail to our Product department and I got the following feedback:
At the time the Speedmaster Reduced was launched the diameter was measured between 12 and 6 o'clock on the case body (without the bezel/tachymeter scale). This was common practice and we kept the dimension (35.5 mm) even for new Speedmaster Reduced models to avoid any confusion with the former versions. Therefore I cannot change the dimension on the website.
