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/

Here are my two choices.

T-Rip · 9 August 2011, 08:47 AM

personally I would go with the Breitling 100%...I dont like the green on the dial on the Ball, too busy IMO..

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.

Go with the Breitling.

Breitling ... already established

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

Breitling for me.

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.
