I'd keep the one on the right. Nicer patina. It also seems to have a slightly better case, with sharper lines on the lugs.

Absolutely the one on the right. Though, I would consider liberating the pearl from the one on the left for a transplant onto the one on the right.

I'm confused... are we voting on which one to keep or which one to go. Either way, I like the one on the left. Full disclosure, I haven't developed the love of patina that others have.

If they were mine I'd keep the one on the left.
If I was buying I'd prefer to buy the one on the left!!

I'd keep the one on the right. Hopefully there is an incoming to replace the outgoing.

I would keep the one on the right for the patina. I would probably swap the inserts or at least the pearl.

Spot on. You've got to keep the one on the right.

I like patina but I am not obsessive about it, I'd probably keep the one on the left and let the one on the right go.

I don't know enough to answer this question other than the fact that I love the superdome crystals!
