Choice of DeBethune

 
 By: Cozmopak : May 12th, 2021-04:37
If you were to pick just one DeBethune watch, which would it be? I’m starting to fall in love with this brand after learning more about them. For me, I think it would have to be one from their DB28 lineup. I love the Kind of Blue DB28. It’s absolutely uni...  

Did you ever see such blue before?

I would go for it.

I echo the DB28GS Grand Bleu

Has all the technical highlights of DB in a true daily wear package. Triple pare-chute, microlight, running seconds, light governor, PR, articulated lugs, fat hr hand, 105m WR, just to name a few

Can't go wrong with any DB imho

All amazing and beautiful watches . The DB kind of blue is definitely something special. Looking forward to see your choice Two of my DBs ...  

DB 28 is an excellent one.

The DB 25 is tops, too. ...  

For me, it would be the DB25 Moonphase

 
 By: rnaden : May 12th, 2021-07:20
I think it retains the classism of a watch and mixes it with some real nice effects, like the movement and the moon display itself.

Great minds…. ;-)

I think I've photographed this exact watch!

It's an excellent example of De Bethune and its differentiation. Have fun choosing. Baruch ...  

DB28. Your photo makes a great case for the blue.

 
 By: MichaelC : May 12th, 2021-12:37
The black is rather cool too. I would welcome either

I agree.

 
 By: Cozmopak : May 12th, 2021-14:46
I love the black as well. I like this version, which I believe has a tantalum bezel: ...  

So so beautiful... this brand is killer!

A grail piece for sure...

There are so many great options

 
 By: NML77 : May 12th, 2021-13:58
I don’t think you can wrong with any. For me it would be the Starry Varius in titanium. Especially if you customize it to commemorate an important date/event It’s a great manufacturer and I’m sure you will be happy with whatever you choose Good luck ...

Very beautiful piece

So difficult to pick just 1 DB and you picked a great one with the Kind of Blue. I have tried one a few from their range and think the Starry Various at 42mm fit me best in their modern range although I really love their DB15 Perpetual with the bullet lug

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : May 14th, 2021-21:22
Coming in 2nd or 3rd, however you want to see it would be the DB1 Monopusher which is super classy. I currently have a DB25 which I should wear more often 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

DB28 Aiguille d’Or version

 
 By: Jardin_des_rois : May 15th, 2021-03:46
I’m biased but this titanium and black base plate version I have makes it an easy everyday watch. The case is high polished titanium, which is very DB DNA. Has the floating lugs, exhibition case back (not all DBs have this), gold filled hour hand that mak...  

Really beautiful piece

I go back and forth between this one and the KOB to be honest

KoB is special BUT...

 
 By: Jardin_des_rois : May 15th, 2021-05:06
It’s a VERY blue watch. You have to commit to it and probably need to be in the right mental frame of mind when you wear it. It’s not as versatile. This version of the KoB also has blue hands which IMO doesn’t provide enough contrast. The Tourb version wi... 

Another gorgeous one!

A one-piece DB collection to me

 
 By: mrds : May 22nd, 2021-10:37
must be a DB28. There are many magnificent versions, the Kind of Blue being one of them. Be aware though that it is VERY blue. If you pull this off frequently, go for it. My choice was on the more restrained side. The anthracite zirconia case gives it a f...  

I agree that the DB28 needs to be the one.

 
 By: Cozmopak : May 22nd, 2021-11:54
I love your Matte Black DB. This one too is tempting me. They are unfortunately all sold out.

Want one but

 
 By: m2 : May 24th, 2021-06:17
cant find them from normal sellers instead of dealers and dont want to pay the premium.
