Tudor - New or Old Diver
Going back and forth on a Tudor diver.
I have small wrists (6") so am very particular about sizing.
The two I'm keen on is the BB54 or an older Submariner 75090. I really like both, especially the 75090 on a grey leather strap I found on an IG post.
I've never owned an 'older' watch before like the Submariner (1990-1995) though so am curious on pros/cons to that as well.
All thoughts on the two options (no other models in scope) welcomed.

I like the looks of the Submariner a bit better. I would get it serviced ASAP unless it is sold as serviced with a warranty. I think it is new enough servicing should not be an issue.

Thanks for the input. Yeah it's not that old of a watch (wouldn't even call it vintage).

Glad to share my thoughts. At best it is close to neovintage. The beauty of this hobby is the are so many fantastic choices and it is hard to go wrong if you go with your gut.
I am a sucker for a snowflake hand, JMO. You can’t go wrong with either in my book, and I agree that the Submariner looks good on that leather strap.
I love the bb54 but the Sub, forsure. It’s perfect.
