It came yesterday and I'm wearing it as I type.
Ever since I became fascinated with watches I have wanted a Breguet, dreamed of the day in fact, because I was intrigued by the company's history, and of course, by the classic, elegant, umistakable, beautiful looks. But not wanting to be hasty, I looked elsewhere for months at other top-of-the-line watches, purposely ignoring the Breguets, to see if anything else would smile at me. I smiled at them but they ignored me. And then 4 days ago, I broke down and wondered over to the where the Breguets were in the store, and as sure as green apples grow on trees, this YG Marine was in the case beaming at me from bezel to bezel. I could swear it was, honest!
And so, I'm another one to join your ranks, as an owner who is still exhuberant with this watch. It's everything I imagined.
Sorry for the poor shot.

Here is what it should look like if the pic is decent (taken from a website).
and glad to see your Breguet Marine is going to a wonderful loving home
Wear it in the best of health!
Cheers,
Anthony

You will have endless admiration and enjoyment over the time piece.This is where i adore most.Let it be some may say it lives on the brand,the company behind and etc.But in my opinion who cares what people say as long as it's beauty is beyong words and it lasts endlessly.
Do share with us all your thoughts and pictures.

Congratulations Ron,
I understand your feelings.....the 5817 is a very captivating watch.....especially in YG.
enjoy it,
Kindest regards,

I really love watches but not a Breguet owner.
I was recently considering to buy the same watch that you did. I have finally chosen another one but I still believe that this watch is really wonderful. I would chose exatcly the same one that you did (YG with brown leather strap) and not the YG/WG combination or a rubber strap (which is though very nice) version.
Have a lot of pleasure with your new watch, it's really nice!
