Just wondering when I go to get my SA do I choose between numbers and batons? Or is that just the difference between model years. Cannot remember the if the one I tried on had batons or not.

Both models are available. The batons are newer - they've only been around this since 2008 - but you can still get the arabics as a current model. There is a bit of difference in the look, so make sure you get the one you like the most! |

I have the one with the numbers, it is more sport looking in my opinion. I guess its what you like. Either way its a great watch.

If you like both of them, you are better off getting the most current offering; in this case the BATONS. I was in the same situation like you 2 weeks ago; I finally chose the batons (which I should be receiving next week, cross my fingers) I believe the Arabic ones are also 200-400$ less expensive

They should both be the same price, just a different stock number. |

They are both currently available as current models, and I believe the prices are the same. |

After flipping through my Chronolog 2009 book I noticed that Breitling is displaying more the Arabic numbered SA than the baton one... Maybe they are trying to sell the "older" models before the "more recent " ones?

Personally,I love the batons on the new SA. I never was a great fan of the SA, somehow the whole thing just looked too bulky. When they introduced the batons, however, too me it gave the model a whole new look. I can't define it, but with the batons, the SA has become a very appealing model to me. I would never before have entertained the thought of every getting one. The AS was a favourite with me, and I love the stencilled numerals on that dial. I think Breitling made an excellent decision when they decided on batons on the SA. As a matter of fact, I think it is now one of the most attractive dials in all the Breitling models. Cheers, Carl |

They are both still being produced today. |
