Nice choice. I wish we'd see more of DB on these pages. Best, Tim
Is it due to the business uncertainty that DB has had, ownership, management changes etc? Or something else, the design of many of the pieces being too radical? (There are of course several more traditional models). Or something more simple like most of the collection, even with the shorter floating lugs where available, is quite large in size and perhaps wears bigger than preferred for many. Curious as to what others think.
There was a “all black” version I think of the same watch several years ago that really caught my eye. I tried it on several times but in the end it was just a little too big for me.
The design is a little too "out there". These are not inexpensive watches and the design does not exactly read as an every day wear. If more people however had a chance to try them on, I think they would discover this is one of the most comfortable watches ever made because of the articulating lugs and titanium case. The design will always be polarizing but that is part of its charm.
Even with a smaller wrist like mine, so long as you can get the shorter lugs from DB, the floating lugs are perfect in terms of fit.
And probably would still prefer a tamer lug, but the watch is so good otherwise I could easily look past themđź‘Ť
