I just like all three. Forced to choose - it'd be Rolex, followed closely by Omega, with Breitling pulling up the rear at some distance.
My rational is pretty straightforward.
Dive watches are my first horological love, and Rolex, to my mind, makes the nicest Dive watches of the three - the Sea-Dweller is an incredible piece, and even the no-Date Submariner is day-dream worthy. I've saving my pennies and dimes to get one, eventually. Omega makes a nice dive watch, to be sure. But the manual HEV ruins the design for me. The SM 300, however, is beginning to make a powerful counter argument. Just not one that's enough to sway me from the SD / Sub, just yet.

All three are great brands, although the modern Omega range floats my boat more than t'other two.
If yer go vintage (1960s or 1970s, the heyday of Swiss watch design and good taste) then I'd add Zenith and Heuer to the group... and I'd have a hard time choosing between the five of 'em.

What are those 8 orange dots for on the Rolex?
I'd like to own a Rolex, just don't feel like paying for one though.
But if ever I am in an elevator or an alley with no cameras around, and I see an opportunity to do a clean "grab and go" - and I do mean, grab and GO -- off of a guy who is not likely to chase me, well, I just might "acquire" a Rolex after all.

Having said that, it is very likely that my next big watch purchase will in fact be the Rolex Explorer II 216570... which will be my pick for my favorite current Rolex:
My favorite Omega has to be the one I have... my Aquaterra GMT:
My favorite Breitling is hands down the Cal 01 containing Transocean Chronograph.

I'm fairly certain the girth and athleticism of your average Rolex wearer is much more amenable to such acquisition.
