Choice of DeBethune
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 unique and so sculptural. Not sure if the surface oxidized titanium would hold up well against a newborn and a three year old in the house though!

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 ...
For me, it would be the DB25 Moonphase
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.
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.
The black is rather cool too. I would welcome either
I agree.
I love the black as well. I like this version, which I believe has a tantalum bezel: ...
There are so many great options
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 ...
My choice
After 6 years of stalking.... DeBethune Db8 w (Possibly) unique RG guilloche’d dial and THA movement ...
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
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
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...
KoB is special BUT...
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...
A one-piece DB collection to me
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.
I love your Matte Black DB. This one too is tempting me. They are unfortunately all sold out.
Want one but
cant find them from normal sellers instead of dealers and dont want to pay the premium.
