Which one would you rather have?

Mosco · 6 July 2009, 11:40 PM

Breitling Bentley, 100%. The Santos 100 is far too common, scratches easily, and has minimal movement enhancements from its ETA 7750 base.

Having said that - I wouldn't get either one of those new, look for pre-owned, whatever you decide to go with.

Breitling

Depends what's important to you in a watch. For me, I value a bit of heritage, so I'd go for the Santos 100 - it's based on a classic, the Santos. Some people view Cartier more as fashion watches but for those who now a bit about the brand it is well respected for watch making and has been producing watches for a very long time.

The Santos may be a little more "common" but you could also interpret this as "popular", which is not necessarily a bad thing. ie: you could say the same thing about the Rolex Sub - but few would argue this makes it a poor choice.

I like Brietling a lot and ofcourse they also have a lot of heritage but I see their Bentley special editions more as a novelty than a serious watch.

Just my thoughts. Good luck!

Santos 100 for me. The Bentley is way too common and every other wanna be gangsta out here in LA has a battery operated version too.

AndreiRublyov · 13 July 2009, 10:06 AM

The Breitling, no doubt in my mind. I love the details on it.

Ultraman · 13 July 2009, 12:55 PM

+1 for Breitling. Gotta to love the Breitling bling bling

Starwalker · 13 July 2009, 03:12 PM

Cartier Roadster Chronograph, the ergonomics of the santos 100 chrono is not pleasant.

clubbyjones · 14 July 2009, 04:34 AM

Depends on what you are going for. Breitling is nicer with a polo shirt, Santos is nicer with a suit. Decide when you are going to wear it most and go from there. I second the comments that Cartier basically makes fashion watches and you will see TONS of fake Breitling for Bentley motors.

icnbne · 23 September 2009, 11:59 PM

the Santos 100, very slick watch..
My friend has the non-chrono version, and its very very sexy..

sandytn · 24 September 2009, 01:49 AM

Same here, another vote for the Bentley!

Santos 100

Zirotti · 16 February 2010, 02:21 PM

I love Breitling, but it's a little bit too over the top...

m_reign · 17 February 2010, 10:11 AM

Breitling for Bentley would be my choice.

2005rivers · 17 February 2010, 10:21 AM

Breitling!

nc42acc · 17 February 2010, 10:33 AM

Santos 100 for me!!!! Breitlings dials are too busy and I cant read them anyways without glasses.

Blimms · 19 February 2010, 11:23 AM

I'll take the Breitling Bently any day. The Cartier Santos is a hard sell these days.

ParisDakarBmw · 3 March 2010, 02:34 AM

Although I'm a Breitling fan, I think the Bentley is overpriced. There's nothing to justify the price difference between it, and the other Breitling models. I'd select the Breitling over th santos
