Shakespeared 0 Posted March 31, 2018 Greetings, I received yesterday my first replica from Andrew at Trusty Time based on having reviewed this forum for a while. I chose an older model Breguet - the Marine Big Date 5817. Currently I have only one photo of it and want to wear it for a week before reporting back. It came on a brown leather strap which isn't too bad but I think I will prefer the watch on the included rubber strap. Once I have that on, I will wear it for a while and then let you know what I think. The watch LOOKS really good. The blued hands and numerals are really great. It is slightly smaller than I imagined but I am starting to get used to it. It is 39 mm. Stay tuned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shakespeared 0 Posted March 31, 2018 The rubber strap is really comfortable, although it doesn't seem quite as thick or perhaps strong as the real thing (yes, I've tried a few real ones on in the shops). It will be interesting to see how well this ware wears where I wear it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shakespeared 0 Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Having concluded that I'd put the rubber strap on back to front, I have now fixed that and the B for Breguet logo is now no longer upside down when I turn my wrist over. Having said that, the rubber strap provided is nothing like the ones that ship with the original. A minor quibble so far, but one I miss because the strap the original has more stainless steel on it and the rubber appears to be more firm. Still, it is comfortable as anything and it doesn't even feel like I'm wearing a watch! Edited April 1, 2018 by Shakespeared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
