    Sea-Dweller v Chrono Avenger

    Hi Guys,

    I'm thinking of buying either a Chrono Avenger or a Sea Dweller. Which do you think I should get and why?
    I have posted this question to the Breitling forum also.

    Welll...you are asking someone from a Rolex forum,I think you can expect the answer from us. ROLEX!

    But mainly,the design is simply fantastic...timeless classic. The resale value is better than a Breitling =)

    Hi

    It really depends on what you want

    a) A classic Rolex design that been proven over a long period of time and will have great resale value.

    b) A blingy fashion watch that will not survive hard use and will be virtually worthless in a few years when you come to sell it.

    From bitter personnal experience stick with Rolex, they may be a little more expensive but their quality is in a different world to Breitling

    First of all which one grabs you,your preffered "eye candy",then if you are thinking long term,either investment or resale.

    The Rolex,without a doubt.

    Re: Sea-Dweller v Chrono Avenger

    It seems a strange comparison between two very different watches to me. The SeaDweller is a deep diving watch with standard display and the Breitling Chrono Avenger while still a diving watch is a Chronogrph with three subdial display. Why not compare the Rolex Seadweller to the Breitling Avenger Seawolf? They are much more similar in form and function. I owned both and they are both very nice watches. Each has advantages as well as disadvantages over the other. Both are well made and very tough. I prefer the SeaDweller overall but that does not discount the Seawolf as not being a very capable and nice watch.
