Mate all the dealers get their watches from the same factories so you will get basicly the same from all of them.

There are a hell of a lot of briets out there in many different styles so what I sugest you do is to read thru all the reviews here and find one you like (the review will tell you if there are any inacuracies you can't live with) and send a pic to a few dealers asking for a price. Read up on the dealer reviews before you decide which dealers to ask. If you need advice on a certain model just ask here.

I think the Navitimer has been one of the more difficult ones to make accurate to the gen. One of the more accurate reps is the SuperOcean SteelFish.

The Avenger Skyland is really good, but the lume dots are a killer. I don't know about the Super Avenger, as I don't have one of these.

For dead on accuracy, the Superocean Steelfish (SOSF) is probably the most accurate to the eye. According another knowledgeable member, the Montbrilliant Daytora is also visually accurate.

The Avenger Skyland is nicer looking watch IMO, even with substandard lume dots. The Super Avenger is also a nice looking larger watch, but usually has some visual imperfections which can only be cured with an addt 200.00-300.00 gen dial modification.

So the bottom line is find something that looks good for you and don't sweat the small stuff. I also am partial to the blue Superocean Heritage (SOH) on a mesh bracelet.

Just so you know its hard to just buy one breitling ...

The SOSF is nearly perfect. And if you get it with the gen ETA movement, it is even running the exact same movement as the gen.
Next in overall accuracy would probably be the BCE, but many would argue the SA is just as good.

Superocean heritage is very accurate too isnt it?
Yes the SOH is very close to gen. I also want one of these on mesh. I'll prob go black tho or maybe brown.
