AP rubberclad vs Safari

Have to sell one of these beauties to fund a Patek 5726. Will only have one AP left.
Which would you keep and why?

It depends on what you have and what you want to get.

For me the Safari is a winner either way

Keep the safari because it's a little more difficult to get compared to RC

I would keep the safari. It looks like a nicer watch IMO, so it can be dressed up or down...

Keep the Safari, especially if the new patek is mostly grey and black.

I have a Rubberclad , so i'm a bit partial to it..

One of the things I love about the Safari however, is you can dress it up with the brown horn back, or put a black rubber on it and have it sporty.. Little more versatile, Rubber Clad however is more rugged!
