Both great watches!
The Starry Seas and Steel Wheels are two of my favorite watches.
They are supremely comfortable to wear—both light and perfectly sized. And they both demonstrate DB’s ingenuity and finishing skills, though in very different ways. The Starry Seas can,
perhaps, be worn in a broader array of settings—it works with a suit (especially on a nice strap) and with shorts and a t-shirt (on a rubber strap). The Steel Wheels is a bit bolder—certainly more noticeable on the wrist—and thus is less suitable if trying to remain more discreet.

Plus, the large delta aesthetic is a hallmark of DBs forward thinking / futuristic designs.

Tough choice.
I'd lean toward the Starry Seas myself, since I can't resist De Bethune's blued titanium, and I don't think there's anything else like that microlight texture out there. Open dials and mirror polishing are more commonplace design features, and besides, yo...
DB aftersales has been excellent and I think the screwdown crown is just for the "dive" watches?
My DB28 has been to service twice, the first time for dirt / debris on the inside of the dial from (maybe) going in the water with the crown out. Oops! The did a full cleaning gratis (I paid shipping) and had they watch back to me in maybe 4 months. The s...
Hi,
The after sales service is very perfect👍🏻. These Watches are very incredible, light, confortable… I wear it during my motorbike compétition and no problem.
