44 mm RACING/ speedmaster versus darksides

Besides what appears to be a ceramic bezel.
Is there a lot of difference in these models?

The Darkside models use the 9300 movement(chronometer) whereas the 44mm Racing models use the 9900 movement (master chronometer). I've read reports that the Darkside's are slightly thicker but never verified that.

I've had the 44mm racing and have tried on the DSOTM. Felt the DSOTM was lighter and felt like it wore smaller.

Had? Got rid of it?

Yes, it was a bit big for my wrist and I didn't really enjoy having a date window on my Speedmaster. Great looking watch though.

I can def understand that. I have a large wrist, so I actually appreciate the heft. Which model did you have ?
