Went to the Breguet boutique today to get a short navy blue rubber strap, the deployment buckle and the strap steel loops. Now I can interchange between the bracelet which I got with the watch, and this navy blue strap

Sometimes all we need is a strap change to give a new life to our watches! The Marine's strap also makes the watch look smaller on my wrist I think.

Some pics to share

I heard from the boutique that the blue strap used to come with the now discontinued Marine with blue dial and once the last few batches of the blue straps are sold, they will only be available as custom straps going forward. I suggest they should continue making the blue rubber strap!

Which would you prefer ? Blue or black rubber strap? Leather ? Or bracelet?

Cheers
Robin

Key Points from the Discussion

The blue rubber strap is praised for making the Breguet Marine appear smaller on the wrist and adding a more fun, casual dimension to the watch.
Breguet's attention to detail, such as the steel strap keepers shaped like Marine waves, is appreciated by collectors.
The boutique mentioned that the blue rubber strap, previously offered with the discontinued blue dial Marine, will soon only be available as a custom order, suggesting its popularity warrants continued production.
The ability to interchange between a bracelet and rubber strap is highly valued, allowing for versatility and a refreshed look for the watch.
The rose gold Marine with a brown rubber strap is suggested as another appealing combination, especially with a brown or black dial.

For me, blue rubber strap and bracelet are equally good.

They can both make this watch very "marine".

Blue rubber strap looks good

The rubber straps look good. Nice shoots with garden by the Sand on the background. I was in Singapore last week for business trip.
