Advice please. SBGE249 vs SBGE209

[fullofboats]

Hi guys,

For those who have either one, what are your thoughts on the fit? I have about a 6.6” wrist and from a taste perspective prefer thin watches and find the six digit submariner to be as big of a watch that I feel comfortable wearing. Lug to lug the sub is about 48mm whereas I’ve been told the SBGE249 is 47.7mm but read elsewhere it’s 48.5mm. The other issue is the height. 14mm is noticeably thicker than anything else I have and I actually got rid of a Tudor BB GMT because it was too thick. Any issues with the SBGE249 sliding under a cuff?

Really torn between getting the SBGE249 or tracking down a SBGE209 which at 39.5mm and 46.5mm lug to lug I know would be a better fit. Love the dial of the SBGE249 though. Pretty much decided to get a spring drive GMT and these two are the final contenders.

Thanks for any input.
