Cant decide Patek 5164a or AP 26331IP?

Hey I would love to get some honest opinions from you guys please

I am in a position to trade my 5164a 2016 for 26331IP 2018 as a direct exchange both used in great condition (around 44000 usd)

What do you think? I just love the dial of 26331IP after I saw it today

Or should I keep 5164a? What would you do?

I also like to ask 26331 IP owners: does the bezel scratch much more easily than the steel version ROC?

Thanks a lot

OP, a lot of this was discussed in a similar thread that started on 4 January. Have you referenced that?

I’d keep the 5164A. The 26331 is a really cool watch in its own right, and definitely has some advantages (more unique and incredible bracelet), but the 5164 is a rare watch that, in my opinion, is just perfect. It looks great, has incredible finishing, has an interesting and useful complication, in unbeatably comfortable to wear, is incredibly versatile, and is super low-key and won’t attract any unwanted attention. It’s not my single favorite watch, though it’s certainly close, but if I had to pick one to wear at all times for the rest of my life, I’d choose it in an instant.
