I think Breitling has done a brilliant job with their marketing, and I truly think that they have a fantastic lineup.

Exactly. They get people to pay big money for movements that they CASE.As far as keeping time- a Casio quartz puts all mechanical movements to shame. There is NOTHING wrong with ETA or Valjoux movements-they easily can meet COSC specs. Taking your argument one step further- why even consider a Patek or an AP? Anyway you look at it the fact is you are paying for an expensive case with a generic movement. Why did they feel they needed to engineer a new in-house movement-you won't be getting that at 1/3 the cost of a new SS sub.
