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
I have the avenger Seawolf in titanium, love it but it’s a very difficult watch to wear. First the bracelet is squared off edges that dig in your wrist as you sit at the keyboard. There are gouges on my desk where the watch has rubbed on the desk.
Second the lugs on the crown snag on your shirt or jacket and is almost always rotated about 45’ instead of staying at the 12. I don’t even bother rotating back anymore.
The lum dots for a diver watch are so small and dim they are useless. In similar light exposure my submariner will still be glowing for hours. The only time I’ve actually noticed the lum on the breitling being useful was I came in from the tropical mid day sun to a darken hotel room.
Plus like others said their advertising is of an image of someone that flies fighter planes for work and races ww2 planes for fun. I’m not on the red bull stunt team, I don’t need a watch that has a knurled bezel that imitates a mag lite flashlight and still impossible to tell the time
