I've been pondering over which S.A. do I keep and which one do I sell. I have 2 and have never really given them much wrist time. I absolutely love them both, it is one of my favorite models. Big and bold exuding superior workmanship. I will sell the one I can live without and keep the other for a while longer. Please, you input will help.Image ImageImage
Please excuse the poor pics

I agree with Ken, although I am still trying to get my head around how you ended up with 2 almost the same. When I think if it, I can't talk. I have two Yema FlyGrafs exactly the same. I love them both too.

For me I would Keep the first one. I am not a fan of numeral hour markers and in this case I feel that they are not necessary and cause unnecessary distraction on the dial.

I'm leaning towards the strapped version myself. When I had them authenticated at the AD, he mentioned that the black strapped piece was an older version. I don't see much of a difference in them, except the strap.

I'd keep the batons. I prefer them to arabics.

I'd would keep the one with the batons dial and I'd definitely keep the bracelet.
Then, I'd use some of the proceeds from the sale of the other one to get a black calf and a brown croco strap. Three great combinations for casual, semi casual and a little bit more formal.
