Two Shades of Blue Incoming

Hey All-
Couldn't decide between these two amazing watches. So I had to get them both to be sure. They are both stunning in their own right. I can only keep one!

I would love your thoughts on each. (These are google images)

The top one for me, I think, haha. I can see how it was a difficult decision for you.

Broad Arrow all the way. I own the replacement version of the bottom one. Very similar, slightly larger and has 1957 in red letters in lieu of the Automatic Chronometer on the dial. It is COSC certified. If you still long for the AT after you purchase the Broad Arrow, then save for the new AT 8500 Blue Dial. I believe it is one of the new "Bond" series

I personally love the Aqua Terra so that would be my choice without a doubt.
