What's the advantage over the OE speedo?

Along those same lines I have always been confused by the stated 
gauge dimensions. It seems to me that one needs 2 numbers: the 
outer OD (the one that WON'T go through the hole) and the inner 
OD (the one that WILL go through the hole.) Does anyone know 
what VDO means when they say 3-1/8"? Perhaps they are just 
stating the hole size.
