Appearance of Breguet Marine Royale Alarm Watch
A window to the top centre of the dial indicates you whether or not the alarm is activated. Other complications are a power reserve indicator, the date and time, of course. The large pusher at the 08 is used to turn the alarm on and off. With lots of decoration Guilloche throughout the shows, the 45 mm wide 18 k rose gold case applied rubber to more easily manipulate the pushers. A special claw between the Crowns may be used to secure the diving bezel rotation if necessary as to not move not accidentally it. All these features handy, to share the Breguet REF. 5847BR/32/5ZU is a very capable diver 300 metres from the resistance to the water.

How important is the new 5 year warranty to you?
I thought this might be an interesting topic since AP recently started the new 5 year warranty. Since AP service costs so much and their movements seem to be a little less reliable than say a rolex imho I think the 5 year warranty adds a significant value to the watch. I don't mean to say that Rolex is a better movement but just that it is more simplified and requires fixing less often from my experience. Say you were looking at two AP watches to buy. One is from 2016 and one is from 2017 and both are LNIB. the 2016 watch only has 2 years left on the warranty while they 2017 watch has a full 5 years. What is 3 extra years warranty on an AP worth to you in terms of $$$? To me it is EASILY worth $1000. Do you agree?

Steel Bracelet or Rubber Diver Strap? Which first?
I've been planning to get a rubber diver strap for my fairly new RO Offshore 42mm Grey Themes, honestly since before I bought it. Same goes for the steel bracelet but I figured I could do that down to road to spice things if ever the honeymoon phase end.So after looking into the parts, the strap, buckle and optional plots, are all more expensive than I'd expected. Although still not exactly near the cost of the bracelet, still significant.I have a couple options for pre-owned bracelets $1500-1800. The rubber strap and buckle brand new will run about $750 plus tax (without plots).So do you veterans and newbies as well, have any advice on which route to take first?Here's my watch for reference. Thanks all! :)

Would love to hear from current or former owners on their experiences with the 422. I think it's a beauty and am in the process of getting one. Please share the good, bad and ugly!
