Well, I personally think the current 1mm larger size is perfect as compared to the other smaller cases. It is hard to say what a 2mm increase would be like, but in this situation, I like the evolution of size at 1mm increments.

The 1mm has made the watch appear much larger

There are several posts on that exact topic on this forums (just search)

Personally I own the 6119r and chose it over the 6119g as I much preferred the 6119r over the 6119g when I saw them side by side. These two references look much different in person than they do in photos.
