breitling avenger 2 chrono or omega sea master chrono

Hi I was wondering if anybody could offer any advice and thoughts on the above.
I'm thinking of buying one of the above watches but not sure which one to go for. They both look really nice watches and the models I'm looking at are the blue face ones. I already have a normal sea master which was I thought about getting another Omega as I have it for over 12 years and it's such a good watch, however then I started looking at the Breits, which also seem nice, both around the same price with the Breit being about £300 more expensive, but I just don't know anything about the Briets.

Thanks for any thoughts.

The 2 watches are;

breitling avenger 2 chrono
omega sea master chrono

In term of looks alone, I prefer the Breitling Avenger far better. The 43mm wears very nice and I really like the look of the metal and/or rubber strap which gives it a total different look. I am a big fan of Omega as a company etc and I am trying to give you an unbiased opinion. Good luck.

There are a bunch of different seamaster chrono style watches.. You might want to be more specific on what your picking and asking for opinions on.

Hi so I ended up buying the aveneger 2 watch :-) nice blue face with numbers on, really love it and the polished strap is different to out else I have :-)

I have a couple of slight issues and wondered if anybody could offer any advice?
1) it's gained 1 min in 12 days, is this normal?
2) sometimes when I move my arm sharply I can here the mech inside spinning away.

I have a GMT 2 which only gains about 10 sec per month so wasn't too sure if I was lucky with this or my breit was bad. And I've never heard my gmt mech move....

Thanks in advance
