Need Help Deciding
I am looking to purchase of of these watches, problem is that I really like both of them. How about some guidance? The first one is a Ball Engineer II Diver ref DM1020A-SAJ-BKGR and the other is a Breitling Colt GMT. Both are automatics and within a year or so of each other. I like them both. Any thoughts on the relative merits/

Ball looks like it doesn't know what kind of watch it wants to be... To me it looks a mess. Breitling for the win.

I think Ball is already established. 1891 versus Breitlings 1884. I think its a push in that area.

The Breitling is the winner in this case. A great watch for the money (especially on the grey market).
I've always preferred a white dial Breitling but the black works too. |
