Is it 13mm or is it thicker?I have had one on my wrist and it seem to wear big,,even bigger of my memory of my 114060 that I didn't really like.My GMT is 12mm.Let me know.And if there is anyone that has a BB and older gmt can post a 2 watch on one wrist pic would really be great.

13.5mm I believe. Read that somewhere before I bought one.

Correction: 12.7mm according to a review I found on "A Blog to Watch" of BBB.

12.75mm thickness I believe. (If it is the Tudor Black Bay Black or Blue we are talking about).

It feels alot thick because the caseback is flat thus it has a thicker polished side compared to the tapered Rolex case. Unfortunately don't have the Tudor BBBlue anymore, but i found it does wear noticeably bigger than the Sub.

EDIT:

Check out this thread, some very detailed pics which you can compare against a GMTc

Fine for dress shirts. I'd say 13 but a guess. I think of it as my panerai. (Member of the small wrist club)

When I had mine I did have occasion to wear it with a suit and there was no issue of it getting snagged on my shirt cuff.

I had a bb and it wear bigger/thicker than my sub. I didn't like the heft and traded it.

Well,

As stated above, the BB seems to be much thicker because the back is flat and the sides are taller, whilst my GMT is convex and the sides are thiner.
Tried to make some pics, but I only had my phone to do that, so the quality might be less than adequate...

Cheers
