Well as I always say, it has to be personal choice, but the SS will be a more practical daily wearer. You don't mention what price you were offered the SABS for so tough to know which is the better 'deal'. As you say the finish on the blacksteel can't be touched up so you have to be prepared to deal with that. I have a blacksteel and I don't let it worry me, but if you are going to be worried about the finish every time that it gets a knock then it may not be for you.

Fairly typical asking price, but you should be able to get it for less than that - that's consistent with Chrono24 asking prices.

sounds like mountain dew is teaming up with breitling. Code yellow ughh the name. Id buy the black steel from what ive seen the BS wears smaller then a SS version which makes it even better for a daily unless your a 24/7 suit and tie guy. The Bsteel still wins my vote.

I have a SA BS and love it. No issues at all with scratches, etc. As a matter of fact, I believe it's more scratch resistant than SS. mine sits next to my Hercules in my winder, and sometimes they "rb". The Herc shows wear and the Blacksteel does not.

Get the BS, there are only 3000 worldwide. :)

For me, I could not wear a BS without a BS bracelet.
