Default Probably a really dumb question re: gauges

What is the real difference between gauges that are sized 60mm or 2 1/16"?

Is it just that different companies use different sizes or different types of gauges are different sizes (digital vs analog)?

Educate me, please

About 8mm. 2-1/16" = 52mm.

I think it's more what you prefer. Looking at something bigger or smaller. Some companies only make the 52mm, some make 60mm, and some make both.

I was originally going to get an Autometer clock in the 52mm but I thought it would be too small to read. I then looked at the 60mm one and it too, was hard to see. So I said fvck it and got this instead:

The hourly chime can be heard for blocks.

I looked at Greddy's site, but did not see the gauges with digital readouts. Where would I be able to get those?

Also, other than oil pressure, what other gauge(s) would make sense for a fairly stock stook. I don't need a dang clock, I'm always fashionably late anyway and the clock just makes me worry more.
