I was actually looking to get a 5237 or a 3237 but never went through with it, I had even posted about it here:

Who did you place your order with? I ll be waiting to see yours and might pull the trigger.
It is a pity this brand is not more popular amongst this community, the Tourbillon models are the only ones to get a bit of attention.
Here is my much loved Marine.

Nice, looking forward to see the pics
As for the strap, do you by any chance already know the lug size on the rep, I couldn't seem to find it anywhere?
Your marine is awesome btw. I think I was the only one in a wrist shot thread to notice a gen breguet.
Ahah, yes I remember. Its starting to age though, I need to have it re-polished some time soon...

I've been told 21mm which is annoying. Bit most 22mm will fit but be tight.

yeah, my Orb was 21, 22 is a tight fit indeed but i guess it depends on the type of strap....

and a very nice one it is too, would love to own a genuine Breguet but for the one i want i`d have to be rich lolNo, its gen
got a couple of snaps of my Orb with the new Ostrich strap from Jacob.....
Kris
Now THAT is an exceptional combination. Very well done mate. Would love to see some more hi res shots
The watch itself is a stunner - the strap makes it look a million. I can easily imagine it beautifully gracing any wrist.
In fact the combo of what I'd call warm caramel and turquoise makes me wonder how the strap would look on my AP Montauk Highway.
Hmmmm.

Apologies if I have already posted my pics in here - can't recall if I have or not, so here are my two Breguets - tourbillon bought from a member ... extremely happy with it though the deployment had an issue so I bought a replacement strap, which I am also v. happy with

Great Combo, that Tourby looks stunning, I had not seen the rep on a nice glossy strap yet. Plus the colour is spot on with the bronzy/rose gold details of the dial.
ps: what s up with the yellow Box branded Breguet?
Is that the one Bonesey is getting? Only pity with these is that they look as good if not even better upside down.and a couple of very average pics of my other one, soon to be moved on ....
Hi folks
1. The yellow enamel Breguet box was from memory, produced for one of their editions but I can't recall which - anyway, after reading about their timepieces and deciding to buy a tourby if the right one ever came up, I saw this box during an overseas trip so bought it. No idea if it is anything like the original but I love it. I try to buy boxes for my better watches - and am making a nautical themed one for my Montauk Highway (if I ever get time to do it!!)
2. Thanks for the +ve comments on the watch strap combo - it worked out really well too, I reckon. Strap only cost a few bucks but is a decent quality and lifted the overall presentation of the watch really nicely.
3. My "other" Breguet is sitting in the drawer in my pen/timepiece/tie cabinet and gets zero wrist-time - and as I now have what I regard as the ultimate Breguet timepiece, I am going to sell it sometime - not touting for business at all, but my cabinet is full to overflowing and as yummy as it is, my other takes centre stage.
BTW I bought this FM box (and watch) at the same time as the Breguet one - it's a ripper though was slightly water damaged ... makes it look 'more' authentic to me, but then I spend my life making things look like they have been maintained for generations so maybe I am the only one who thinks a damaged box is a good thing
