Breguet Marine Vs Hublot Big Bang

Dec 24, 2011,00:41 AM
 

Hi 


Looking for a versatile watch that is robust and in rubber strap. Have narrowed down to the Breguet Marine 5817 in silver dial and Hublot Big bang 41mm steel and ceramics as I have small wrist. Both are similar in size and price. 

Which would you choose and why?

Marine, without a doubt

At least for me. For its finishing & refinement.

Breguet Marine, because Breguet is Breguet! [nt]

Hublot in general and that one in particular does nothing for me. YMMV. Best, Andreas

I have to add I have never owned a Hublot .....

but I have admired them from afar. .... my opinion is somewhat bias to Breguet. I will keep an open mind as always. Best Bill

I am biased.

Disclaimer: I am Hublot forum moderator.... I have owned Breguet Marine but let it go soon after. Didn't want to get it scratched by using it as weekend or off-time watch - I thought that it was not for really go-anywhere, do-anything. If you don't mind t... 

In my humble opinion Marine is far away

from being the nicest Breguet. Anyhow, it is a real Braguet and the history of horology is much related with the name Breguet. Hublot is something very new... But in the end it depends what you appreciate. Nice problem for Christmas. Enjoy it! Best, Kari

In my far youth, I liked the Big Bong. :)))

But when it comes to watches, well, I would go for the Breguet. But the choice is in your hands: Try both of them, and you will know. Best, Nicolas.

Or a Rasta Milgauss! :))) [nt]

How did you guys find out about the Big Bonk? It's a super secret project

Using recycled rubberized contraception, that is HARDER and LONGER LASTING then the regular vulcanized rubber, yet it wraps around the wrist like rubber gloves, and it is a fusion of different grades of rubber, but the end result is you get HALF the usual... 

You should get these guys to be the title sponsor of the talk

AAah, the Magic Rubber!

Personally handwritten certified. Best, Horo. Was fun to laugh a bit. Nicolas.

I agree I would choose the "Bong" as well if in my youth ;-) LOL

After that I would probably buy any watches. As long as it's green. Oh yes don't forget the chocolate ... you need lots of chocolates, the sweet one. Like the delicious tropical dial ... ... Sorry I talk too much Regards Tyler

You're a true friend. :) [nt]

Hublot BB is more exciting and sexy, Breguet Marine is akin to Gentlemen's sportswatch

 
 By: Hororgasm : December 25th, 2011-17:37
Other then similar pricing and being lumped together in "sports watch" category, they are quite different. The Breguet is a real scratch magnet and unyielding, but it has lotsa of presence, and a bigger date window. Also a point not very much discussed he...
