Production commenced in 2010, positioning this reference within the brand's modern catalog offerings.
This one is spectacular. All titanium but different heat-colored parts? Whatβs on the caseback? 6400 for an extra set of lugs? Thatβs an entire Rolex OP. Congrats!
Such a gorgeous and beautiful DB . Love it . Especially the two tone looks so good . Enjoy it to the max
Huge congrats my friend, itβs already fantastic now and when I think how it will be with the new strapsβ¦ππππ
The popularity of this brand has accelerated so much in the past few years.
Happy to hear that you are enjoying it so much. I think that DeBethune makes some of the most incredible and highly differentiated pieces that are a lot of fun to wear. Best
That's an awesome DB28, a real wrist space ship! The silicon disk is IMO the coolest DB balance wheel as well!
