The Breitling Watch Source Forums

As stated, they are completely different. Having owned both, I would get the Rolex in a heartbeat.

Have owned both, sold the Breitling, due to size and bling factor. The in-house movement did it for me, and the ceramic bezel. Both, you can't go wrong with any of them.

I dig the analogy, but maybe I am partial bc I drive a 'Lac

This brings up a good point. I too have found myself using car stylings to characterize the types of watch. For instance...(and I will use my wish list for effect, but feel free to add with yours).

SUV-Tool watch (SOH 46)-big, comfy, and can take you anywhere
Sportscar-Polished Bracelet/Case combo(Speedmaster Broad Arrow)-looks fast and shiny-Impresses the ladies
Classic-Vintage(Cosmonaut)-Really cool to change it up, plus there is some history

Any thoughts??

I know a lot of people say 'if the rolex was larger i would buy it’ Have you tried it on? I had this same thought until I actually tried on the GMT II. Rolex re-designed the lugs, the bezel is slightly larger, and the watch wears MUCH bigger than 40mm. It appears the same size on my wrist as my 43mm Breitling Olympus watches. I was absolutely shocked by this illusion!!! Although, it wears nowhere near as large as the Bentley's nearly 49mm diameter.

The GMT IIc TT will be my choice. It's on my wish list.

Yeah I have it on, a few times actually, and while I agree it wears larger than the older style case, I still personally find it too small. The Deepsea is the only Rolex I've found that fits me just fine.
