I know why I don't like Breitling.
Lots of them spend at lot of time at service because of poor build quality. Last time I had my IWC for service, the shop owner showed me the difference in build quality. Breitling looks god on the outside, but the quality of the bits and pieces suck when you compare. He explained that was the reson why the had so many in for service out of schedule - He actually made an article about it in a watch magazine with pics and everything afterwards...
Two of my friends had Breitling and one of them had it at the shop for 6 months out of 12. In the end they replaced everything inside. That broke down as well and he ended up getting his money back and bought a Rolex instead.
The other one was not that bad, but he had to deliver it for service 2-3 times too much.
To op: I would not choose any of them, but that's just a matter of different taste ;o)
