Breitling makes a great product. Really they are some very nice pieces. The resale value is anemic, especially if you get into their Breitling for Bentley watches. Then you are getting into territory where you have to just about buy them to keep them. Not great watches for flippers unless you bought them used.

I myself have had a Navitimer World, a Superavenger and the Flying B. Service wise the Flying B has had to go back twice for an issue with the jump hour, both times they fixed it for free, even out of warranty. I can't say that having complications go wrong is a unique thing though, my Daytona had to be sent back twice as the chronograph would stop adding minutes.

On the Superocean 44, in that dial you have pictured, you can order it with this really cool leather strap that is black but then has wetting on the sides of it in that blue color. Really is a very unique looking combination. If you go that way, get it with the deployment, as Breitling makes a very nice one.
