·Not sure if these pictures will help or hinder. The measurements are just rough / quick as a guide and you will see it is a Sapphire sandwich 3861. I have never had any issues with the 9300 height and it will fit under a cuff ok. I like having a chunkier watch / some weight at times. I do not have big wrists. I have used the hour minute counter as a time zone clock which worked well. It is a pain that it does not have a quick set date but the jumping hour does compensate a bit and is great for travel. As I rotate watches and don’t use a winder manual an automatic does not make a huge difference for me. Long story short If you want a modern Speed master with date then 9900 racing is a good call. If you are drawn to the Speed master history and aesthetic at some point you will probably buy a manual wind – so better to go 3861 from the start maybe…… and you can use the Chrono as a date reminder (but most have a phone now for that as well :0)
Lastly Pictures are deceptive and people get away with much chunkier watches – I borrowed a Breitling Emergency once to compare with my 9300… makes it look ultrathin :0)
