Great choice!
I just got my first Breguet as well. It's the same watch, but with the blue dial and rubber strap. The bracelet should arrive next week.
All I can say is Wow! This is really a beauty - classy, elegant, and sporty all at the same time. Plus, the size is perfect for me! Not sure why it took me so long to discover this gem!
I've also got a Blancpain Aqualung Grande Date which uses the same movement. Much more sporty interpretation.
I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine!
My first Breguet!!
Dear all Today, I am the proud owner of a brand new Breguet, which I purchased from a local AD here in Singapore. I started looking for a steel watch in steel bracelet some months ago (all my other watches are too delicate to be a "daily beater") and comp...
That is a very beautiful watch and ...
It carries almost everything that made Breguet a modenr classic. Congratulations, enjoy this beauty and, please, post macro shots of the dial. From you pictures, I can see that is gorgeus but the details should be fantastic. Cheers, Nilo
Great choice, Robin.....
The dials on the Marine series of watches are fantastic. Do you think you would ever get the rubber strap for a completely different look? Bill
Rubber Strap....
Hi Bill Thanks for the compliments. Actually most people tell me the Marine looks nicer on rubber strap and the bracelet clashes with the sporty looks. However, I prefer steel bracelets to rubber and hence focused on the bracelet pieces (same for AP RO, V...

You made a great choice. I bought mine in March with the rubber strap. Originally, I wanted the bracelet but it just didn't look right. There is a new bracelet that will be available in about 3 months. Enjoy your watch!!!
Thanks and the rubber strap is great and even more popular
We both made great choices! I must admit I took awhile to warm up to the steel bracelet too but grew to like it in the end. The rubber strap is much more popular here from what I noticed . Thanks for the tip that the new bracelet is coming for the Breguet...
Thanks Nilo!
Yes, this is indeed a modern classic and I am loving it more and more. It complements my current collection superbly too! cheers, robin
Some macro shots... I need to get better at this!
Hi Nilo and all As promised, some macro shots (my first attempt at trying to do this properly and it's really fun! I will take some macros of my other watches, esp my Lange Dato, next time!). Sorry that the caseback was quite dirty - I only realized it no...
Congratulations to your Marine!
These blue Breguet hands in combination with the guilloche dial is to die for! Enjoy it in good health Best Stefan
Thank you Stefan
Yes I love this watch for the reasons you pointed! Some of my watches I prefer looking at the movement. For this Marine, it's the dial that captivates me! Cheers Robin
Robin, Bravo. Congratulations for your purchase.
Congratulations for having taken the choice of originality and elegance, We should more often speak of this Marine, a superb alternative to other sports watches. Not really a diving watch, as it would need a turning bezel for that, but a watch which will ...
Thanks Nicholas!
Yes, I agree the Marine is much less spoken about (although many posted about it recently in WUS forums) compared to the other high end sports watches. It is also relatively lower in price (probably less collectible) but in terms of looks, it doesn't lose...
Thank you Sir
It's very nice indeed. I really love the blued Breguet hands!! cheers, robin
Congrats on your first Breguet
And very nice macro shots. Those blued Breguet hands and guilloche dial are just stunning. Congrats! Regards, ED-209
Thank you!
I am still very much in love with the stunning dial! Wearing it most of the days now (also resting my other watches with leather straps as Singapore has been so hot and humid lately! ) This Breguet Marine really completes my collection! Cheers Robin

Thanks Dr Bill!
Wow yours in blue looks great too! I never saw it in the flesh but pictures of it look stunning. I am pretty sure the blue Marines are rarer as I have only seen my silver dial and the black dial version in Singapore. Congrats on getting that great watch. ...
