This is a great thread. I agree with the earlier poster who said he likes the Rolex bracelets better - I have to agree. I think the Rolex bracelets are very elegant and a better fit in formal/professional settings vice the Breitling bracelets that are very sporty (to my eye). I just don't care for the Breitling bracelet look - especially that diagnoal cut design like on the Pro IIs.
I also agree with the above, based on my experience, that fit/finish on Breitlings is slightly better then Rolex. Beyond that when it comes to size, diversity of design, dial layouts, movements, etc. that as long as you compare apples to apples (i.e. don't compare the high end of one brand to low end of the other) it really boils down to opinion and what you are looking for at that particular time.
To those that have complained about Rolex raising their prices, take a look at Breitling's price trend over the last 15 years - remember, prices are a function of demand not improvements in the watch.
