5817 is a very good watch
I have had 5817 for almost three years. It still gets more wrist time than my other watches.
I also read justpen's posts and his problems with the rotor, but my experience with this watch has been very positive. It is comfortable, it dresses up well if needed and it is very accurate. I have no experience of AP.

Breguet Marine II Big Date
Hi Everyone I am thinking seriously of a Marine II Big date steel version. Can anyone give me some opinion comparing this to an AP RO steel vesion 15300? Maine has a substantial price premiun over the AP RO based on list price. Considering the movement, q...

good info
thanks Willi and Pink Panther, good info. I like the Marine Big Date becasue it has sporty feel that the AP 15300 lacks. 15300 is more of a dress watch to me. Regards Ivan
Check the earlier thread(s)!
It's a great looking watch but I backed off after reading justpen's experience on his; albeit, it may have been an isolated incident. Picked up a Daytona instead..... Best Mally
Just follow your gut feeling
Hi Ivan, i think the advice given before by Pink Panther is absolutely correct: try it on a few times and go for what you gut tells you is right - the one that catches your attention the most. In terms of resale value, both the Breguet and the AP seem to ...

beautiful and versatile Marine II
Totally agreed, this is just such a versatile watch, it goes well in suit or jeans and is 100m water resistant, the silver dial that shown here is the best. Thanks for sharing your pic. Is yours a ss or gold version? I found out that the price diff betwee...
Steel
Hi Ivan. The case is stainless steel. Dial, hands and numerals in gold. Good luck with your choice. Regards.
