Huge thanks! i believe next year is an anniversary for Breguet so am waiting to see what they may do with the Tradition lineup.

Almost lost focus on my adding a Tradition next had a blue version 5817 in my cart. This one should hold me over for awhile I think.

Here is my original 20 Aviator, bought in France several years ago from the family of a military aviator. I believe they were given the watches and just assessed taxes!

LOVE it! May try to add something similar someday I really like the new type XX models as well but none can top the character and history of an original one like that.

Agree. Have a new one and it’s great. Love Breguet.

I just discovered this thread.
Absolutely lovely picture. I’ve been eyeing this 5517 in grey. I know you are well versed in various brands, would you be able to give your experience with this Marine on its own and in comparison to other brands sports models.

Also, what a treat to get the serial number that you got. Send me some of your luck :)

Hi buddy, I'm happy to share my experience of owning this watch. It is very light and comfortable on the wrist as it is titanium. It weighs only 90g on the scale. I think it's a perfect daily watch. Before i pulled the trigger, I could not try it as there is no availability at the AD, but I'm drawn to the aesthetics I saw in videos and mags, particularly with the blue sunburst dial and the unique fluted side profile. When I finally received the watch, it didn't disappoint in metal. The watch box is also marine-theme and it has a wonderful woody smell. I really like what Breguet is doing as it is quite different from other brands.

I didn't really have a lot of exposure with other sport brands as I have only owned Rolex professionals and Patek sports. The Breguet Marine is priced between the Nautilus and Rolex sports and the biggest differentiation between them to me is the usage of titanium in the 5517 - it is very light and comfortable on the wrist. The bracelet is all brushed like a SS submariner which means you need not bother about scratches like it is on the PCL.

Good luck with your serial number and congratulations in advance!

Thank you for your perspective. I am really digging this. I too don’t have nearby AD so would be going sight unseen…your input is thus very helpful :)

Congrats! These are incredible watches and still great value in my opinion. Can’t go wrong with a Marine, I still love my black dial 4 years on and just pops far more than my Sub.

Does the 5517 have hacking seconds? That lack of this feature is one of the few things that bothers me about my 5817

It used to bug me a little too but now I kinda like and appreciate the fact that the timekeeping is way secondary on these watches it’s all about the art of the dial and movement side. Its kind of refreshing to wind and just glance at a clock and set it in the ballpark as opposed to my other watches where i for some reason feel the need to set to the second.

None of my 4 5817s are particularly accurate my GOs and Omegas all blow them out of the water but it just doesn’t bug me at all like I thought it would.

I’d like to adapt this but sometimes my ocd gets the best of me

Very helpful, thanks!

[PhilLynott]

Had a little scare with this one this week couldn't find it anywhere. Found it in my duffle bag from a weekend trip a few weeks back thank god. Good reminder for me to pay attention more. I have them covered but guessing the process for a lost watch claim is not a fun one.

I love my breguet 5920. I'm thinking of buying a 3460 or a 7027 as well.
