Daytona doesn't equal 40mm, what else are they exaggerating?

A while back I read that the Daytona was smaller than 40mm. I put it to the test. I am kinda anal when it comes to measurements and accuracy. Rolex says the Daytona is a 40mm case. When I measure it with a set of digital calipers I get 38.55mm. Is this only true on the SS version of the Daytona? It does kind of make me wonder what else they are exaggerating. Has anyone measured their Rolex watch case to see what the real size is?

I did measure all my other watches and found them all to be true to their advertised sizes.

I went and measured my wife's watch a 31mm Datejust. It came to 31.54mm
