...they certainly are!

I'm a big Breitling fan, but here in the UK the new Chronomat GMT comes in at £4,700 and it's running a Sellita/ETA movement, whereas for £3,170 you can get the Tudor Black Bay Pro with a "true" GMT, manufacture movement with 70 hours of PR. If ever the phrase "no brainer" needed an example, this would be it.

It's a shame because the Breitling is a great size and a nice looking piece: it's just double (maybe even triple) the price it should be!
