Finally able to wear my Marine 5517 on the gold bracelet!
Love the looks and feel on the wrist. I made the mistake of buying the watch on the rubber strap and then separately ordering the bracelet - the worst course of action from the financial perspective, of course. Also, it appears that the gold bracelet comes with fewer links than the titanium one, so had to order some additional links.
Then, it is quite cumbersome to swap the strap for the bracelet, as these are attached to the watch case using very special screws. My AD and I decided to send the watch back to the factory for the swap, it took some months but the watch came unscratched, and this was the result worth waiting for.
The fit on my wrist is perfect, and the clasp being very ergonomic, I am not experiencing any additional wrist digging vs my stainless steel bracelet watches.

Well done,this looks fantastic 👌
I also feel that the lug design integrates much better with the bracelet as compared with the rubber strap.
Thanks for appreciating!
This bracelet needs to be experienced in person - very masterfully done piece of jewellery with just right amount of polished edges to give it a restrained but a bit sparkling look all at the same time.
That is a beautiful chunk of gold...but not tacky at all. Kudos for Breguet doing something different than the rest of integrated bracelet watches.
If money is no object, I would gladly get the White gold on bracelet. The wave pattern is sick.
Thank you for liking it!
I have just noticed that they have added a new version - blue dial with waves but in RG, that one looks fantastic as well.
Thank you for sharing these gorgeous photos!
This redesigned Breguet Marine doesn't get much love, especially compared to the previous editions. I must say that I liked the traditionally guilloche dial and nautilus or seashell rotor of the previous editions very much (whereas I like the ship's wheel...
Thank you so much for appreciating, dear Emmanuel!
This is my only second full gold watch (that is, with the matching bracelet) as such combos very often may prove to be over the top for socially comfortable wearing. And this Breguet combo being mainly brushed - in my view this makes it actually wearable....
The 321 platinum Speedy looks great.
I don't think I've ever seen it on a bracelet, though... I dedicated a thread to the pt Speedys: www.watchprosite.com
That is a wonderful thread, thank you!
I understand they have added the Pt bracelet offering just recently, long after the original watch was released in 2019.
I don't like this Marine line and I don't like gold bracelets (unless white gold)
and the strange thing is ... I really DO like this watch. Can't explain why but I would love to wear it
Thanks a lot for liking! Mind, the wearing comfort is great as well!
In my view, the watches from the current Marine collection must be experienced in person - the percieved quality when handling in person is very high: there are a lot of small intricate details and the execution quality is top. I have another one in my se...
Congratulations on getting this done!
I have a soft spot for the previous gen but I tried a few different versions of the current model and really liked the titanium version in blue, in the metal it is a really charming watch. I find it interesting that although there are many different angle...
Thank you very much!
I actually own Marine Alarm Musicale in full Titanium and cannot agree with you more!
Thank you for liking it!
I have never thought about it this way, but now that you’ve said it - why not? 😁
Looks very nice…
But a bit shocked that for attaching the bracelet it needed to be sent to the factory 😱 Strange setup…
Thank you for appreciating, my friend!
The strap swap requires special screw drivers, and Breguet do not supply their ADs with those! So I had three options: do this locally with non-dedicated instruments, or send the watch to the nearest authorized service Center (Greece), or send it to the f...
And supplying the tools to the AD could have been a simple step, too 😉👍🏻
But I see many brands nowadays castrating the abilities of their ADs and Boutiques. What used to be considered normal small things every boutique could do now requires sending the watch to the factory for. That’s anything but great in my humble opinion 🤷🏻...
