Why are breitling watches so relatively unpopular? Iam new to watches and the Navitimer is subjectively one of the prettiest watches for me. What are the reasons why i should reconsider a purchase? I have heard that these watches are relatively bad when it comes to holding value. But is the build quality inferior to other watches or what happened that makes them so unpopular?

Thanks

    Personally I don’t like Breitling watches because they are too busy. It’s actually hard to read some of them.

      too busy.

      Agree. I’ve been on a Glycine romp recently and the Airman I think is the “busiest” I can handle while still being legible. It’s a 24 hour watch after all so there’s 13-24 you need to make space for on the dial

      Agree - but I just picked up a new model SuperOcean in black/white and put it on a rubber strap. It’s clean and high contrast. 42mm dial with short lug length and 12.5mm thick. Really clean, wearable watch.
