I can’t stop looking at the Longines BigEye (L2.816.4.53.2). I’ve been wanting a chronograph for a while but they are always slightly too big. Anyone got this one? Online there’s some contradicting info about lug to lug and the case size - this according to Longines website is 41mm.

I’ve tried a speedmaster reduced in royal watch exchange and it looked tiny compared to the "normal" speedmaster next to it. Case size is 38mm. Felt quite light too.

Also saw the Sinn 356 mentioned whilst looking up the BigEye, looks like another option for a smaller chronograph (though it’s quite tall).

I’m actually looking at the BigEye as a Speedmaster alternative :-)
Sinn looks good and probably fits great at 38.5mm but yeah, 15mm tall.
The Longines seem to tick a lot of boxes for me but I’d like to know the dimensions before I go looking for one.
