Short Answer

Breguet fits a blue dial to four Marine references: the 5517, the 5817, the 5827 chronograph, and the 5847 Marine Royale alarm. Replica makers copy the 5517 and 5817 most often. Listings for a replica Marine with a blue dial run from about $180 to $650. Movement type, case thickness, and dial printing drive that spread. No replica matches the engine-turned dial of the genuine watch.

Blue-Dial Marine References

  • Marine 5517: 40mm case, 11.5mm thick, calibre 777A, 55-hour power reserve, 100m water resistance. The blue dial carries a wave pattern cut into a blue base.
  • Marine 5817: 39mm case, calibre 517GG, 65-hour power reserve. Older blue-dial version with the date at 3 o'clock.
  • Marine 5827 chronograph: listed at 42mm. Two counters on the dial. Calibre 583Q.
  • Marine 5847 Royale: about 45mm. Alarm function with a crown at 2 o'clock.

Dial Details to Check

  • Wave pattern. Genuine dials are engine-turned on a rose engine. Groove depth shifts as light moves across the dial. Copies stamp or print the pattern, and the surface looks flat under a loupe.
  • Printing. Look at the Breguet name and the Swiss Made text at 6 o'clock. Soft edges, thick strokes, and uneven spacing show up first in photos.
  • Hands. Genuine Marine hands take a high polish. Copy hands look dull at the edges.
  • Date aperture. The 5517 and 5817 place the date at 3 o'clock. Check the frame for burrs and the disc font for weight.
  • Rotor decoration. Replica rotors use stamped finishing. Genuine rotors show hand-applied anglage and a signed weight.

Case and Movement Checks

Ask for a photo of the case on a caliper. A genuine 5517 measures 40mm across and 11.5mm thick. Many replica listings state 12.5mm to 13.5mm. The extra thickness comes from a spacer ring around a smaller movement.

Legal Note

US Customs and Border Protection can seize shipments of counterfeit watches. Trafficking in goods with a counterfeit mark is a federal charge under 18 U.S.C. 2320. Personal-use purchases carry different exposure than resale, but seizure risk stays.

Points I Cannot Verify

Replica factory names change month to month. Photos alone do not confirm which workshop built a given watch. Breguet does not publish its dial supplier, so claims about one shared dial maker are guesses.

Bottom Line

Match the reference first, then the movement, then the case measurement. A replica 5517 with a Miyota 9015, sapphire on both sides, and an 11.5mm to 12mm case sits near the top of the replica market. Anything below $200 will show a printed dial pattern and mineral glass.
