Probably not the best place to ask for a non biast opinion but I have narrowed down my next watch to one of these 2. I currently own a Super Avenger and a Speedmaster and I love them both. I think Breitling and Omega both make equally beautiful watches so this decision is hard. Since I know they are both quality watches the choice is purely coming down to what one I think looks best and I cant make up my mind. It will mostly be worn with a nice t-shirt and jeans. Also, this wont effect my decision but what do people think is the best watch technically?
Cheers, Jordan

I personally prefer the omega. The planet ocean is a beautiful watch and the 8500 and 9300 movements are awesome.

Very different watches, especially movement wise with mechanical vs. quartz. I would take the PO for that reason alone.

Funnily enough for a Breitling site, the M2000 doesn't seem to have many fans around here while the POs get a lot of love. I'd choose the PO every day.

It's quartz, and it's no PO.

As Roff said earlier, it's not really a fair fight.

Another vote for the PO. I love mine so I'm biased but it's a high quality and versatile watch that is sporty (naturally) however can also be worn with a suit IMO. I have no experience with the M2000 but the quartz aspect alone is tough for me as Roff has already indicated.

I sort of like the M2000. Being able to use the chronograph functions under water is a great thing (for me at least). It's something I miss on my SOCII...
