Breguet Royal Marine
Hi all this is my first Breguet post.
I have recently graduated from university and luckily my parents are willing to buy me a watch within a certain budget. I was recently at a wedding and the only watch brand I could see was either AP or Hublot. In my own opinion neither of the brands compare to Breguet.
Now being 22 years of age I do prefer oversized watches and this particular watch was brought to my attention. Please follow the link below directly from the Breguet website: www.breguet.com

Problem is that I have seen live pictures of the watch posted by members and the two show no resemblance. Any advice or info would be much appreciated as it will be my first true watch.
Thanks for your time
Mehdi

I agree with justpen but
Rolexes are great and I own one for 15 years and sold it for more than I bought it in excellent working condition. Now if you want to be a little bit different take a look to the Royal Oak offshore series. This being said I have two Breguet and they work ...
I can relate
Mehdi, I can relate to you incredibly well. I am also 22, and a recent college grad. My parents were generous enough to give me a watch as a gift, and I elected to get a Type XX Transatlantique, for many of the same reasons you listed. I...
Some Breguet Marine pics in the wild
Just to add some excitement to you confusion. AND…… Just in case you do want a rolex try the 666 sea dweller (Vintage) Hard to find but not often seen on the wrist. Or any nice 5513. *** The blur in the picture was a dolphin Best Bill...
Which model
Bill, Which marine model is that? The designation on the dial doesn't appear to match anything in Breguet's current catalog. Regards, Chris
This is the Marine 5817
Hi Chris I am pretty sure this model Breguet Marine 5817 "Big Date" in SS is still in the current line up but if not is should be easy to get through most AD's. This is a super watch sporty and dressy at about 39mm on the dial but the big lugs and awesome...
