"comparision between this DB and my 1815"
Both brands seem to stick to their own values. Some of them are important to me and therefore I appreciate both a lot. Both brands have different aproaches, but they are both outstanding - for sure.
Back to your point. Would love to see a (in-depth) comparison between those (high-level) "entry level" watches. Meanwhile, kudos to both brands for showing that high-level watchmaking (today) is not only possible at the end of their product range ...
Can´t wait to read your comparison ... no pressure

The sweetness of De Bethune..
comes in different forms and shapes. You obtained one of the nicest DB,their dials are amongst the most beautiful and best executed around,the attention to details is second to none,especially in this case I like the contrast between the classic looking d...
It is indeed something I keep telling myself

I completely agree on your statement Oliver
And concerning the comparision review I think it will be quite fun and as there are many subjects of discussions between them I bet many of the issues will be brought by members of the forum themselves , more than me ^^ Best, Mark
Fantastic review, Mark!
We seem to share much in our passion for watches. 1815 and DB25 are also two in my drawer... However, I will have to view your post once and again while my DB25 comes back from service...not a fast thing at DB I must say... Thanks for sharing! Juan
Two representative watches we have in common
I haven't been confronted yet to a DB's servicing but I hope you'll be able to enjoy yours again soon ! Thanks Mark This message has been edited by Borale on 2012-02-13 14:09:42
The big thing...
Well, it's not the "next" big thing because it's obviously getting big already! It's great to see more and more DB owners amongst us, and a lot of us are attracted to this innovative brand! Congrats Boreale on the great catch!
Yes it seems to be a brand many have a weackness for
and I really appreciate this from what the brand transmits. Thank you for the comment Best, Mark
