Both are 32.7mm in diameter, but the Buffalo is about 3.8% thicker at 2.95mm vs 2.87mm for the Eagle. And, the Buffalo is pure, heavy gold, the Eagle is mostly gold with a little of the lighter copper and silver. Plus, the Eagle weighs almost 10% more to make up for the alloy content. It seems to me the Eagle should be a LOT thicker but it is actually skinnier. How can this be? I took all my specs from Wikipedia, are they wrong with one of their numbers?
I would imagine the design plays a big role in it depending where they take the thickness measurement.
I suppose. Not only the devices, but the rim. If they take the thickness measurement at the thickest part, it would be the rim. If that were a little higher than the Eagle, it would measure thicker, but the main part could be a little skinnier.
Shouldn't be. Buffalo eat primarily grass and are told to be extremely healthy. Opposed to eagles who eat rats, mice, & all manner of junk food(cept'n for fish).
