i would have to agree with a majority of the above. Breitling has taken a cue from Rolex in terms of marketing and physically speaking they are amazing pieces, both in construction and finish. I would concur with above statements about the bracelets being finer than Rolex. However, as far as movements go, most pieces use ETA guts (except for some new in-house stuff they are beginning to put out). Resale isn't quite there but if you get 20-30% off at an AD or better yet in the Islands you may have a fairly priced piece. Breitling also seems to be moving towards annual price bumps which will synthetically add value to a discounted or pre-own purchased piece.
Disclaimer: I own both a Rolex GMTII and Breitling SuperOcean Heritage 46
