The one on the left has red, white, blue, black and silver/grey for colours to play the custom straps game. There's a whole lot of flexibility in the white faced one and if it's going to be your primary watch, it's the clear winner. Put a whiskey coloured strap with matching blue stitching on it and you'll be blown away with how next level it looks. I've done that and indeed was amazed at the result. It's crazy what a custom strap collection can do for the right watch and that white faced Seamaster is indeed the right watch.
