It's alive!
Are you having a nice romantic time on the fur blanket in front of a fireplace with your DB25?
Nice strap color by the way.
DB is really bringing something uncommon in watchmaking, by the spirit and the watches themselves.
When I saw the blued inner side, it made me remind of this one:
I have the original black strap with mine but was really thinking of getting a dark blue one.
Thanks for sharing Flamenco
Cheers, Mark
A Technological Tour de Force
A simple dial that belies the science and innovations that have gone into making it both a piece of art and time cutting edge machine ... The pictures will do all the talking , while I (and we) watch in awe ... Silicon Inside ! And where it really counts ...

Cool Runnings
No fire places in Singapore ... Just rain , gloom and cool cool wet wet weather (reminiscent of London) Find myself staring at the movement all the time .... just dun tell me other half A stylish design , I find myself wanting to experiment with strap col...
Hard to beat...
De Bethune classic beauty.....Classic in their own way.... I quote a Purist friend:"De Bethune is what Patek should be....".....funny but I agree... Mo
That is why ...
I dun have a Patek ! Now that I have a "classic" DB , a most modern piece would be very apt. The 28 is calling out , and ruining my sleep :( Thanks Mo , Merry Christmas to you and yours !
Silky dial
I can believe you spend lots of (working?) time admiring that. DeBethunes walk on the line between modernity and past qualities keeps us looking. Great pictures too. Don
Yes , Don ...
a most efficient watch causing otherwise ... LOL The dial is the most beautiful I have seen (other than the KVs) The DB of today keeps us amused ... The DB of tomorrow keeps us in anticipation .... What keeps me fascinated and as u said ... Keeping to tra...
Short version: Superb!
Superb are the pictures and so is the watch. Thanks, you made my day! Oliver
The magic
and hallmark of a great time piece , elicits such emotions ! Thank your for your kind words ! U made my day too !
Pardon my ignorance...
Firstly, let me agree: that's a gorgeous piece indeed! However, can anybody explain the difference(s) between the DB2005 and DB2024 calibre please? Thanks in advance (",)
Pardon my mistake
the 2024 is the self winding u see here. The 2005 is the manual wind, pictured below. If I am not mistaken , there are essentially the same base movement. Thanks for pointing it out ...
So far I failed ...
to take a final decision which version I prefer. Both are very appealing to me and in the long run I will get one, but if I get one - it will be only one. Thanks for sharing! Oliver
The finishings of the dial is stunning
It is the problem of any DB watch... or almost all of them... what is the best side? Front or back? Anyway, I always love the charm of their dials! Thanks for your post! Fx
Dial is up there with the best ...
case back ain't to shabby as well ... Very distracting at the office for sure !
These De Bethune are to die for. Certainly one of my favs in the Independants League.
The care in the finish, the horological originality... Hard to beat. Best, Nicolas
