Can't give much advice on what to buy but I would steer clear of Breitling. I bought a Super Ocean a couple of years ago and have had a couple problems with it. First it keep slow time, it cost me $60 to send it to Ontario to the only authorized shop in Canada for repairs. Then last year, I twisted the crown right off. Again another $60 to ship, they suggested to get it fully serviced and cleaned while it was there, that was $600. I could have saved on some of the shipping if I bought it locally. If I spend that kind of money on a watch again, it won't be a Breitling. It is rated for 1500 m but I don't dive so that means very little to me.

I purchased 2 Breitlings (Crosswind and a Wings Automatic) around 1998, my Crosswind got serviced a few years ago ($650.00) that was the only problem I had, the bezel got seized, too much salt water, I think, used it for diving, it got stolen 2 years ago, insurance gave me back 9700.00, went looking at the new Breitlings didn't like them, they got to be huge in size, decided to switch to a Rolex Daytona, instead.
I don't think the newer Breitlings are made as well as the older Breitlings. I just had the Wings automatic, serviced a couple of years ago, needed a full cleaning
