This is a new angle.....
Hi Mark,
I’ll play....
1. I drive a Mercedes, a Jaguar, a Toyota, an aircraft and a tractor
2. Depends on where I am going.
3. I trust no one.... and so I insist to drive myself.....for self survival.
4. Styling is essential...Power is necessary.
5. 51 Plus....
6. 3...and that’s why I could never buy a Jaguar Convertible or a Mercedes SL.
7. Who has time for two hobbies? ....Enjoying life is my one and only hobby.
8. I don’t work.
9. I wear a Breguet almost every day.
a. Almost e very day.
10. No problem.....
I enjoy the understated simplicity of a Breguet in that the brand has a heritage, albeit a little inflated and disjointed, but ( today's ) Breguet has managed to combine the traditional features of watchmaking with the modern desires of a discerning clientele.
I agree with Dixie, in that when you wear a Breguet, only you know what you are wearing because most people outside of this Forum have never heard of, or seen a Breguet.
I really enjoy the fact that a manufacturer would make a watch with an engraved dial of solid 18K gold.... and then plate it in silver for contrast with the blued hands...this has to be the ultimate in understatement.
I have enjoyed a few Breguets, but find the 5817 Yellow Gold Marine to be the most pure of timekeepers because it is practical and it simply just tells the time....and does so to a few seconds a month.
In addition to that it has an elegant, yet sporty, look that retains the heritage of watchmaking while being a watch that has the ability to slip quietly into any dress situation in today’s society.
As for the watch.....it is simple to read, has a big and practical date, a more than generous deployment clasp and a winder that you can grasp and use without difficulty.
Also, and a seldom discussed feature, is the silk smooth feel of turning the winder crown.
The 5817 gives a 65 hour power reserve and this is practical if you don’t wear it for a day or two as it is usually still going when next you use it.... and it also has a useful and practical water repellent rating.
Being in Yellow Gold also allows for the removal of the odd scratch that might occur.
I can’t wait to see your car.
Kindest regards,

As always I agree, dear Jack....
