I have had a Superocean for 20+ years and have been very satisfied with it. One key thing you didn't mention, but which one can see very clearly in your clip: Breitling's inside and outside anti-reflective coatings on the crystal are probably the best in the industry, and clearly better than Rolex.
Nice comparison. I used to want a Sub, now that is essentially a status symbol, I don't. I couldn't afford the aftermarket prices anyway. I went with that same SO 42 in black. Everyone said Omega is the next best thing, and marvel of engineering. That may be true, and I really wanted to like the SMP 300, but I was just fooling myself. The wave dial, and "old man" looking bracelet kept putting me off. I just couldn't buy it because everyone recommended it. I'm happier with the Superocean.
Well, considering that you have the best versions ever made of the submariner and the super ocean, this is extremely tough. However, I would go for the superocean. Wearing the exact same SO 42 in blue as I type this. I also have a batman gmt and the newer 126610LV. Love my Rolexes but there's something about this blue dial with the large white numerals and the steel that just goes oh so well with a nice pair of jeans and a well fitted blue or black shirt. And in the sun, nothing compares. Also I learned a valuable lesson after owning these newer Rolexes. I am definitely a pre ceramic Rolex guy. I will eventually sell these and get their pre ceramic counterparts. Hopefully won't be too hard to find. I realized that I don't like all the bling. I also learned that I hate polished center links. And yes, the new superocean is garbage unfortunately. Keep up the great work!
I have the same Sub and sold a Breitling Colt. I must say, I believe Breitling quality is under appreciated. I’m in the market for the 44mm Superocean. Great video.
The Breitling for me, this Super Ocean is a master piece, unless you're after the status symbol, which is hilarious as Breitling was making watches well before Rolex was even created as a brand...in London
Hands down the Breitling, I have a Steinhart OVM which reminds me of a Rolex, plus for the money spent for the Rolex I could have one heck of a watch collection
The new SuperOcean is not atrocious come on. It is just different. I am kinda sick of brands recycling the same designs over and over. At least Breitling is trying something new. I have the SuperOcean II and I am very pleased.
Yeah I have the Superocean II 44mm, with rubber strap and bracelet, it's the watch I wear most often day to day, it not only looks great but it's also really robust and resists daily wear and tear really well.
I’ve owned 3 subs over my collecting years but I just bought the superocean and it is such a better looking watch and great bang for the Buck. The sub new is 4x the cost of the breitling. Not worth it for an all stainless Rolex IMO.
Well the Rolex is the better watch but I do like the Superocean, the reflections on the Rolex are pretty bad especially compared to the Breitling first thing I noticed.
Explain how that old Rolex is better than this modern Breitling, Breitling have much better lume and better milled clasp not cheap stamped clasp even the guy on the video show it if u are not blind to see it.
@@Visitor555 looks cooler, that’s 90% of the reason I buy. The Rolex is a classic icon that resells for more than the Breitling brand new. If choosing between the two I’d take the Rolex.
I personally cannot believe just how small rolex watches are...deal breaker. its like buying a pair of shoes that are too small, or buying a Harley sportster when you are 6'2" 240 lb... doesnt look right no matter the prestige. I own the super avenger and the Super Ocean Heritage...Absolute Gorgeous watches, I get so many compliments on them. They are surely alpha male watches. Rolex= Lack Lustre, Slight, robustless and not worth the money...at all

That breitling looks better for some reason than the Rolex
I know the Rolex is a better watch but there is just something lovely about that BRIETLING especially now because the new one is horrible

New Superocean is definitely not a garbage. I have both models and since I bought new model 6 months ago I wear it every day.
Breitling anytime
I can't see any reason at all for choosing the Rolex 🤔

I like both but my Superocean is much easier to read with my old eyes.
WOW the Breitling looks so much nicer. Next to that Rolex.

my gut reaction, the Breitling is a little more attractive design. Probably because i've seen the Sub 10,000 times ; )

That Breitling is a beauty, should be a good one to own until the new Omega comes up.
Breitling for me.... I have a 44 superocean... amazing accuracy and really comfortable for a big watch
I have the Super Ocean and wear it almost everyday.
Breitling
Definitely the Rolex 👍🏻.

Agree. I have a 9” wrist, Rolexes look like toys on my wrist. I tried to love the 42mm explorer 2, but it was just too small for me.
@@Pepsiaddicto my man
Stamped clasp is hilarious on such an expensive watch. Rolex isn't a tool, it's FOR tools.
The Breitling clasp is stamped.
Breitling is elegant
The new SO is crap. This one is... pure.
Between these 2, I would take the Super Ocean. But between the Super Ocean and the 111610 /121610 with Maxi Dial, Rolex for sure.
Rolex all day long
I think that Nat liked the Rolex lol.
🤣
Am I the only one getting bored of R
