I like the 5817 even more since the new 5517 came out.
It's funny: Before release of the new 5517 in 2018, the kinked lugs of the 5817 disturbed me a little bit. However, I always loved the guilloche pattern which looks like a vortex. Simply stunning! Now, one year since the presentation ot the 5517, I still don't get warm with the new model, but I totally changed my mind regarding the kinked lugs of the old one. Love them!
Marine 5817ST leather strap photo session
There are still not too many photos of the 5817ST on leather, probably because it's not a standard option. Rubber clearly has its advantages and I do like the look, but for those who neither live in humid areas nor want to go for a swim, leather is defini...
I love Breguet...
I actually prefer it over any sort of trinity watches...for me, probably the brand's history including historic figures that owned Breguet, altogether that's the extra factor for my affinity to this brand. Those marine models with the big data are simply ...

Me too. So far, I don't own a single watch with arabic numerals.
Either plain indexes or roman.
Seeing the models on leather is a game changer to me.
I have heard that older Marine models were shipped with two straps: rubber and leather. It's sad that they stopped this. Probably Breguet didn't want to tempt owners to swap straps on their own, once they have an alternative strap lying around that came w...
Totally agree. Some Photoshopping can give a hint ...
I took original images from the Breguet website and did some mixing: Although it's only one perspective, I think one gets a good idea how this might look like on the steel models. (The 5817BA yellow gold can be ordered on a brown strap directly) ...
It's really hard to decide which one to take.
The black dial is super cool, and would be a nice contrast to my 5907 with silvered dial. However, the silvered Marine might be more versatile ...
Breguet is my favorite
The brand has so many instantly recognizable details. The fluted case, hands, numerals, guilloche dials and complications create timepieces I find hard to resist. The rubber strap works best for me followed by the brown leather.
