IWC Spitfire Chrono vs Breitling Navitimer?

Question

both are of the same price range at 5k+,
I've been reading forums but not much on comparisons...
I am buying this watch as an everyday watch with steel bracelet.
IWC Spitfire Chrono
+ Looks more elegant thus making me seem more refined = RICH
+ It seems like since its swiss.. the brand gets a better name because of its.. swiss heritage
+ People say the finish is incredible
- I've read that this model gets nicks easily?
- No tachy, I love seeing tachys.
Breitling Navitimer
+ Very Masculine, lots of features, and generally looks sportier
+ has an actual heritage to it as a flier utility watch compared to the IWC's "dedication" to spitfire plane only
- It doesnt have that "swiss" heritage to it
- IWC seems to be above (brand-wise) compared to breitling

Could you guys tell me other things i may not know like problems or issues with either model?
theyre pretty much equal to me now, i just need some make or break points to finally decide.!

Answer 1

Breitling is also a swiss company, but IWC carries far more prestige among "watch people" than Breitling. Its mechanical components are far more sophisticated. I also find the IWC styles to be more sophisticated, while Breitlings in general are over the top and gaudy. Breitling carries more prestige among people who don't know anything about watches. So who are you trying to impress?

Answer 3

I query your numbers approximately which plane shot down extra of the opposite for the duration of the struggle. The Messerschmidt did do just a little higher early within the struggle, a million.two:a million. Overall the Spit was once a two:a million winner. Early within the struggle the Germans have been struggle hardened skilled pilots from the Spanish civil struggle as good as combating in other places in Europe so pilot abilities and techniques were not relatively identical, however the Brits found out speedy. Also, the British function was once to head after the bombers no longer battle Messerschmidts which additionally placed them at a tactical drawback. Also, which Spitfire. The Spitfire MK XIV with 2050 horsepower used on the finish of the struggle was once an nearly absolutely one of a kind plane than the 850 HP MK I and 1175 horsepower MK II used within the Battle of Britain. Throughout such a lot the struggle the Spit was once a quicker extra maneuverable awesome plane to the Messerschmidt.
