I am surprised how many people like Breitlings. I personally don't care for them - they are too busy and gaudy in some cases.
I figured it was exactly for that reason that certain people like them.

one thing i like about Breitling is the design of the pro II bracelet.

each links is held together by two screws, so if one screw fail (fell out), you still have another screw to hold the bracelet together so it would fell apart. even if 2 adjacent screws fall out, when the watch on your wrist, the bracelet is still not easy to be taken apart. so its hard for the the bracelet to fail due to screws falling out.

Pro II bracelet doesn't have diver extension though

its not difficult to size the bracelet either, it just takes a little more time.

i like the Super Ocean Steelfish. too bad its quite a big watch and my wrist can't handle it ... LOL

Just be careful buying watches on ebay, i almost bought a FAKE Tag Carrera not too long ago. I bid on it and pretty much right afterwards in noticed something was just not quite right.
Turns out it was a pretty decent replica, and the serial number proved it.
I msg'ed them and said to retract my bid because i will not be paying for a replica watch they advertised as a REAL Carrera.
They canceled my bid shortly thereafter, some sucker paid over $800 for a Replica Carrera, poor bastid.

I have 4 watches, only 3 of which I wear:

Casio Pathfinder PAW-1500 for outdoor, rough and tumble wear. Love the features on this watch even though the face is huge.

Movado Museum Moderno (steel, not gold plated bezel) with a black leather strap. Absolutely love this watch. Wore it on my wedding day.

Bulova Marine Star diamond accented. Everyday watch with good weight. I think the size is perfect.

Movado Junior Sport. This one is currently broken, unfortunately. It's the first gift my wife gave me and I'm just being lzy getting it fixed.

I would look at the Movados, Raj. Classic, minimalist styling with sapphire crystals and if you get one with a few diamonds on the face, they're all VS-1 quality or better. I would recommend a Movado SE.

They are far too busy in appearance for me. However they are extremely functional for those that put them to use...such as pilots and boat owners.

In my opinion Rolex is timeless, classic styling. There is no need to go baller, flashy with platinum and gold. In fact, I get more compliments on my stainless steel Datejust than I ever do with my stainless/gold Submariner.
