Post subject:  watchmakers, how do they rank

i know this is a truly subjective topic, but i'm wondering how everyone here would rank the watchmakers in terms of technical quality, innovation, bang for the buck, just overall wowness, everything.

i'm curious how breitling ranks compared to other makers, e.g., un, iwc, roger dubois, etc.

thanks~

Hello rhequest,

I can tell You, that Breitling is the company, I have the least complaints about mechanical production issues of all companies I am dealing with. Of course, things can happen, but most of them happen during shipment, handling or shopwindowdisplay of the watch.

On the other side: Never ask a watchmaker from Breitling Switzerland for something, which they have not planned. They are just stubborn dorks, living in a sidevally of the swiss alps. They are as flexible as a piece of rock. But as far as I know, nearly all swiss watchmakers are like that...

Best greatings
Thomas
