They're very similar and yet very different watches at vastly different price points, I'd imagine.

The question you have to ask yourself is how important is the split-seconds functionality to you and do you appreciate it enough, horologically speaking, to justify paying the premium. Keep in mind that it is a limited edition, which in itself will command a premium. If it's the blue face you like, the common trait between the two, then I would choose the regular Portugieser. But if money is not an issue and you're looking for something more special, then by all means go for the Rattrapante.
Please let us know what you choose.
Good luck and all the best...

Really don't like the chopped 6 and 12. Would pass by.

I completely agree with your thoughts and choice frankly I have no use for the split seconds function though the red hands look smart on the dial also the price point of the split seconds is different so I will go with the regular edition. Thanks
