| Post subject: | Rolex or Breitling? |
I've been searching for the perfect watch for a while now, as many of you may know after reading my posts. And i came across the Rolex Sea dweller, which is about $7000 for the most basic model. I really want it, but its the price that makes me go after cheaper watches, (also the reason for not goin for the Blackbird). But do you guys think a rolex is worth the wait and work? Or should i get a Breitling Blackbird by the time i save up enough? Both are around $7000, whats more worth it? I love them both the same, so i need a little tiebreaker. Or of course the third option of going for a Aeromarine watch or Aerospace for much cheaper, and possibly getting 2 instead of one. Thanks, cRaSiAn1030 |

This question has been asked a few times ROLEX V LING, truth is your on a Breitling forum so the answers will be Biased. I have owned a Rolex and I found the build quality of the clasp very much lacking to be fair. The time keeping was not that good either IMHO. I would go for a ling as your first watch and the Blackbird is a good start If you were to ask the same question on TURF you would get a differant responce i'm sure.Martin |

I'm not going to answer the question, my answer is obvious anyway, but I will say this. In the last couple of weeks on here you have asked about a number of very different watches. To me, that suggests that you aren't that clear in your own mind about what you really want, and at 14 I can completely understand that - I sure as heck didn't know what I wanted at that age. I said on the other thread that I don't consider 14 too young, but any age is too young if you aren't yet sure about what you want. Take a break - do 14 year old things for a few weeks, and then come back and see what still appeals. The last thing that you want to do is buy something and regret it. Hope that doesn't sound patronising! |

If you're into 'just a watch', get the Rolex, if you're into art, get the Blackbird  .. I think it really comes down to what you want from your watch - The Submariner is the (so to say) most common watch, and that is not without reason! On the other hand, you have the Blackbird, being a 'piece of art', yet maybe more.. uncommon, special etc... than the average non-watch-interested person would be buying. Or atleast thats how I think about it
