Both Rolex and Breitlings are great watches. Both have history and loyal followings. Some like Breitlings more due to more of their Tool Watch fucntions, AR coated Crystals and larger sizes. More variety with Breitling. I also like how Breitling is true to their Tool watch roots, where Rolex has become more bling bling and luxury oriented. Both Rolex and Breitling have great service for their watches and both have ruggedd movements. IMHO, Breitling is a better buy for the money (yes, Rolex has a higher resale value, but are you buying to wear or buying to flip down the road).

The Super Ocean Heritage 46 is a great looking watch!!

To me, Breitling and Omega have replaced Rolex as the higher end Tool watch that professionals would use.
