Oyster H vs RS6 strap

I would like to ask for your input:

I've got a 1984 (based on ser nr) 16750 GMT.
The wristband 78360 has been replaced by a 2010 (RS) strap.

I still have the old wristband with H strap (1983), although the logo on the strap is worn due to time (working on computer).. you can see it on the picture (can't post it due to limited nr of total posts)

Could you share your thoughts:

1. Keep the original strap (don't mind that the logo has faded) and sell the newer wristband
2. Sell the old strap (you'll be surprised of it's worth and it's added value is minor)

At the moment I'm keen on keeping both, but not sure if it's worthwile

Thanks for your input

Thanks for your reply!

Just wondering, what's the reason why you would keep the newer 2010 wristband? Apart from having one reserve, should something happen with the old one?

Selling the original band is a bad idea.

New plan would most likely be:
Sell newer strap, sell service dial and hands, buy/look for second hand original dial (t<25) with matching hands
