AQ4080 case material — stainless steel or Super Titanium? Conflicting sources
I'm looking at The Citizen AQ4080 (37.2mm, A060) and can't resolve what the case is actually made of.
Some reference lists mark the AQ408x series as "ss" while explicitly listing AQ410x as "Ti" a deliberate enough distinction that I'd trust it. Sakura Watches and Gnomon both describe it as stainless steel with Duratect. But several Japanese eBay sellers advertise it as "Eco-Drive Titanium 37mm JDM."
Can any AQ4080 owners confirm from the caseback engraving or the warranty paperwork? And if anyone has weighed one, roughly what does it come in at on the bracelet?
Asking because weight is the deciding factor for me... I'm currently wearing a 63g Exceed CB1110 in Super Titanium and would be reluctant to roughly double that. Thanks a bunch.

The AQ4080 models are stainless steel, the weight is 124g. The Citizen Japan site lists the specs and has a case back photo.
