First Breitling watches dilemma

[Dannn]

Good day to everyone,
First of all, sorry for the most annoying topic "First watch selection".
Actually, I gonna to buy my first automatic movement watches ever. I firmly decided to take Breitling. Considering huge discounts in local authorised retailer store atm, I am struggling to choose between Breitling Galactic 41 a49350L2-be58-428x (onyx dial) and Avenger 43 a17318101 (blue). I really like both of them, and haven't found any solid reason in YouTube videos/reading reviews, etc.
Could You please share a bit your experience & opinion re those two models comparison (reliability, calibers, etc) ?
The price is almost same (about 3k euro each). Alternatively there is a possibility to take more serious model - Chronomat 44 ab0110-bf76-296s with by adding around 1k more.
BR, Dan

I have experience with the Avenger 43. I love this watch. Nobody does AR coating like Breitling. About 3 years old and keeps perfect time. 43 is a little big if you have a small wrist and heavy on the bracelet, but they came out this year with a 42 Avenger. Tried it on last week and it is perfect. Good luck

Both are great watches but I would go with Avenger personally. Breitling movements are very robust and I didn’t have any issue with them. I’m servicing my Breitling watche specially the movement every 8-9 yers. I think Breitling watches are very good option as a first luxury watch. By the way my first luxury watch with automatic movement was Breitling Navitimer.

What kind of discount are you seeing?

Maybe consider one of the new Chronomat GMT 40mm. Those are sharp.
