Zenith or Breitling?
Quality and resale
[/ QUOTE ]
breitling hasn't made an in house movement since the 50s. quality is good on any 3rd party movement since they're so generic and ubiquitous.. too bad it's a watch with no soul. breitling had brand recognition amongst the public.
zenith movements are in-house and fantastic. the el-primero was the last 3rd party movement used by rolex in the prior generation daytona (the entire rolex line is now 100% in house). 99% of people who ask you what type of watch you're wearing won't know what zenith is though (if you care about that).
resale sucks on both really (if you're paying retail).. ps. never pay retail.. check timezone.com's used ads to get an idea of what kinda depreciation hit you're gonna get stuck with.
