Breitlings aren't good.

I don't agree on that last sentence, I love my 806 re-edition
Also there are certainly some good breitlings, just skip the overly flashy shiny car sales man ones. They had a ton of terrible designs yes

But it seems that "watch guys" will often buy & sell their own watches to each other privately. So I would think it's hard to properly value what a watch is "worth" if you try to resell it yes? Does it just come down to however much a watch guy will pay for a secondhand Brightling, Rolex or Patek Phillipe?

It's not hard to value a piece. There are tons of forums, sites and marketplaces to use as references.
Personally I hate losing money on a watch, so I either buy pre-owned or new if it's Rolex. Try to buy a new Daytona at the Rolex dealer for list though ;)
