I think the DB28 would have caught on a lot sooner if they had started with the medium or short length
Oct 18, 2021,22:31 PM
The first time I tried a DB28 was with the long (standard) lugs and while it fit comfortably, the look was dramatic for sure but too spidery and delicate for me. The medium sold me but now after living with them for a while I could see how the original long lugs might have served the best functionally as a suspension for the strap.
That is, the lugs rather than hugging the wrist need to have some spread off the wrist to effectively serve as lever arms for strap tension. The shorter the lug, the less articulation available at which point, just make it a db25?

Have been very impressed with De Bethune finishing and quality. This DB28 XP(extra flat) model is no exception. It is very comfortable on the wrist due to its thinness and light weight. The hands and dial are also a constant source of distraction for me. ...
Many thanks bro!

Many congrats. The dial appears to be fantastic. And the case and lugs, as always, engaging. Are those the shorter lugs or standard length?
Many thanks, Jay!

The lug is their medium size. They got rid of the long and short and settle with medium as a standard.
I wonder the same.

I found out only because I asked for a short one. I wish they still offer the short one.
Many thanks!

It’s great that DB is popular now but it’s so hard to get one now. I don’t know if I should be happy or not. Lol
exactly the same feeling!
By: Spencer Karrington : October 27th, 2021-05:03
Before it was out of my price range but now it is really out of my price range lol! Having said that, as long as they continue to make cool watches, i am happy!
Wow! Beautiful piece
