Point of reference for size of 5968 & 5990
People have mentioned the sizes of both, so I have both next to each other for your reference. Despite being close in size, the 5968 wears smaller because of the rubber band than the 5990. Neither is better, although the 5990 has more presence imo...although putting the orange band on the 5968 might change the proverbial scale albeit in a more colorful way. Enjoy!

The 5990 doesn’t taper in the lugs... so there is a gap between the lugs and ur wrist....the 5968 is also a thick watch but the lugs taper a bit
