last time TRF help me decide on my 14060M submariner. Now i need your feedback:
Rolex daytona yellow gold with leather strap vs. Breguet Transatlantique Type XXI Flyback rose gold with leather strap. I cannot have both so help me decide, pro's and con's??? thanks

Daytona

Daytona, no doubt

George Ab · 4 May 2010, 05:06 PM

Wow, what a wonderful choice. Little bit more size with the Breguet Transatlantique and the rose gold are a couple of pluses. The Breguet quality and finish is incredible. Don’t know enough about the Breguet movement, and I assume this is a Rolex cal 4130 and not the Zenith. Certainly a smaller market for resale with the Breguet. With a Rolex you have an appreciating commodity, but are you marrying for money or love?

I don’t know, too hard……. fading……fading.

Breguet....any day.

Need pics and can't be bothered to look them up

Singslinger · 4 May 2010, 06:14 PM

Is resale important to you? If yes, I'd go with the Daytona. If it's purely looks you're after, then the Breguet.

HL65 · 4 May 2010, 06:53 PM

I would say neither--Gold Daytona on strap. Personally -I like the WG though.

G.J · 4 May 2010, 07:27 PM

Daytona for me...

inspires · 4 May 2010, 07:28 PM

Breguet makes some amazing pieces and the Rose Gold Type XXI is a beautiful example of that. Last week, I had dinner with a friend who just bought one and I have to say that I am quite impressed with it. However, if you put it up against a Rose Daytona, I would have to go Daytona all the way!

Breguet Transatlantiqué is the better choice with leather strap, while Daytona goes well with bracelet.

Breguet! No doubt about it.

dannyny · 5 May 2010, 12:14 AM

i had to make that same choice a month ago and bought the daytona, if i had to do it again i would do the daytona but if i already had a rolex i would definitely definitely do the breguet xxi

fc3s2k · 5 May 2010, 12:28 AM

The funny thing is I have 5 rolex already ( sub, exp I, DSSD, wg datejust, and YG Cellini danaos) that why I'm leaning toward something new, but on the other Hand DAYTONA!!!
Plus I wanted to have a gold watch this time since I never had one except the Cellini but that was an inheritance from grandpa so I don't wear it. What do guys thing, which gold watch for my 30th bday!!!
