Enjoyed reading and learning a thing or two. For the record, I own and love both. You cannot go wrong with either. My

....:

Well, see the above link...Breitling really does treat it's customers to some nice gestures of gratitude...Never had anything like that from Rolex or Omega....even when times were good!
Breitling is the OLDER company between the 2
Breitling has a deeper history of involvement with aviation (Navitimer, Chronographs, Cosmonaute, etc...)and assertively pursues promotion and advertising to build upon that image. Rolex only has 2 models (GMT and AirKing) that really have any aviation heritage associated with them...
Breitling does frequently change/update their models, often dramatically with the exception of the Navitimer series...whereas Rolex takes a much more conservative and slower approach to redesigns or changes
Overall, I believe Breitling makes the most handsome cases/bracelets out there, but the new GMT IIc is a homerun!

Enjoying the discussion!
