While I like and respect Breguet, I've never liked the Marine. If I wanted a sporty watch from them I'd buy a Type XX or something like that. The big date Marine just doesn't work for me, it feels over styled, and like it should be a product from another brand.
The Santos is a classic. It's been around for decades, and its a great value for the money, 100 meter water resistance, more highly antimagnetic than a Rolex Milgauss, in house movement (although, not as finely finished as a Breguet movement) and far more versatility with the ability to switch between a metal bracelet and various straps.
