I know absolutely nothing about AP, but I like the classy versatility of the first one.

i really like the first one too. the modded 7750 had kept me away from these, but i've read this one is much better than the daytona/portuguese. i also have no idea about visual accuracy ect... but it does look nice to me

depends on what you plan on wearing it with... the first one will match many more things, but it's more boring.

if you're more of an outgoing person and like having more attention, and have something that can better match the 2nd.. go for that one.

me, I'm a relatively reserved person with my clothing, most of the time so I'd go with #1.

Is running seconds at 12 an issue? Rats. This is the first AP that got me to stare at it. Not the one with green numerals. The first dial.

Safari, goes equally well with a suit as it does with jeans and t-shirt or anything in between.

Safari! If you wanted a splash of colour, I think the Bumblebee, Volcano or Lava looks better.

1st one, Safari, it is classic, green could be boring after some time. ,....and go with a nice brown Hornback from APbands or HkTan

+1 for the safari, way more versatile :)

And as said before get an APbands or HKTan strap.

Good luck
