Rolex vs Breitling

[Ferdelious]

I was at a neighborhood get together last night and one of the guys there noticed my Rolex. He's not a watch guy at all but we started talking about it and were overheard by one of the ladies. Then she comes out and says Breitling are the best watches made. I quickly said no way. She used to work for a jewelry store and sold them. She said yes they are, they win awards. Then she asked what's a better watch? My reply was Patek Philippe, I didn't want to start a Rolex argument just yet. Her husband chimed in and says well that's a different level. Then I said Rolex. And her reply was Rolex is just a name, they lose time, Breitling is better at keeping time. The argument was pretty friendly but started to heat up and she was not backing off at all. My impression was that she is not educated at all on the subject and is acting like a bad salesperson. I'll admit I don't know enough about either brand's movement to keep it going so I stopped and moved on.

I have always been a Rolex fan and believed them to be a better watch. I know this question will get Rolex biase on this forum but in your opinions who makes a better watch? I would especially like to hear from the experts with knowledge of both brands movements.
