As the saying goes, one man's meat is another's poison.Panerais started using Rolex movements, and they really took off as the main watch designer for the Italian Army. Brietlings are historically linked to the aeronautical industry, thus the main diff in the looks and the functionalities of the 2 models.I prefer Panerais over Brietlings. Finds some Brietling models have way too much info to read from, and thats detracts the main purpose of getting a watch. As I am not a pilot, i dont have need to read barometer or tachymeter and what have u nots on the Brietling. Just tell me the time, accurately with very little maintance required.Dont get me wrong, Brietling lovers, the watches are beautiful, with many dials, color schemes and markings. I prefer the more simple designs of the Bentley collection than the Navitimer or Montbrilliant collections. My preferred Brietling set if i do get my hands on them: Emergency (can spot u miles at sea with its "beacon" thinghy, damn cool), or the B-1. They have a cleaner dials, and has cool digital readouts too.I simply prefer Panerais as they are big but with simple readable face and dials, 47mm dials, with another 5mm of casing = 2 inches CLOCK!! But Brietlings are as big too.Hope that you find watches as an interesting collection, as like you and yr cars.:rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:</blockquote>
