It took a while but you succeded, eventually

Your photos are great, some macro shots are stunning.
I've always loved DB like you and many others, but it's still beyond my means, though I'm truly happy when a long term aficionado achieve his dream.
Now there's only one question, what's next?

First impressions: De Bethune DB28Z

By: mrds : January 30th, 2021-08:59

I still remember the day in 2005 when De Bethune released the DBS. The moment I saw it, I knew I wanted it. It was well beyond my financial means and so it remained a dream, but a dream that kept alive over the years and that let me admire De Bethune's wa...

Stunning, absolutely outstanding!

Many thanks for the kind words, Marc!

"futuristic machine." That's exactly what it is. Cheers Marc

Elegant and modern! Good pictures, too!

Thanks a lot

Tried my best with the iPhone. Mixed results but I‘m happy I could convey the qualities of the DB.

Always admired these.

By: mtvandi : January 30th, 2021-09:43

Quite innovative and really nicely made. Enjoy!

Thank you, Sir

Thanks a lot for your great review of this beautiful DB.

Best, V.

Glad you liked it, Volker

Thank you for your superb review. De Bethune was the first high horology brand I came across and therefore similar to you my love affair with the DB28 has been set.

Thanks a lot Sir!

Thank you! I truly appreciate the time you taken to post this piece—both here and your first post about it a few days ago. Great insight and information!!!

My pleasure, Obeezy!

Huge Congrats, excellent choice. Thats one beautiful and very cool DB .

By: Watchonthewrist : January 30th, 2021-10:52

Like you my love for the brand started many years ago. The moment i saw a DB in person it was love at first side. A few years ago i was able to purchase my first , a DB27 and two years I was lucky to add a early DB10 . Hope you will enjoy your amazing DB2...

Two great brothers! Thanks for sharing these beauties.

By: mrds : January 30th, 2021-12:27

I love this salmon Titan Hawk, and the DB10 is a very classy piece.

Grazie mille!

Hmmm.. what‘s next? Refueling my bank account I guess 😂 I had a great 2020 and I guess it’s time for a pause or, if I‘m strong enough, to slim down and focus my collection.

Fantastic watch and congrats on the purchase!!!

By: Spencer Karrington : January 30th, 2021-11:43

I love debethune and pretty much everything they make and so am very happy to see more people buying their artworks! I can't wait to join you guys in 15 years ;P Btws, if I am not mistaken, didn't they invent their own finishing style where it is more bro...

Please join us, dear Spencer

By: mrds : January 30th, 2021-12:33

I can say from my own experience, 15 years of longing definitely grow the pleasure once you have it on your wrist. I cross my fingers for you!

That definitely makes me happy to hear that even after so long, the watch is still majestic!

By: Spencer Karrington : January 30th, 2021-12:35

Well, will get back to you in 15 years. I honestly can't believe it has been that long as it is an amazing watch that still looks extremely modern

This color scheme works for me!

By: kennygfunk : January 30th, 2021-14:37

Yeah. Black watches matter.

By: mrds : January 31st, 2021-02:07

Terrific review!

By: jleno : January 30th, 2021-17:05

Love that macro of the balance wheel, it looks completely surreal!

That you for the kind words! When you see the balance spring pulsating it‘s even better 😁

By: mrds : January 31st, 2021-02:09

Thank you very much Daniel

By: George Gently : January 31st, 2021-00:46

Good review of an exquisite watch. Wish you a very good time with it. Regards, George

Many thanks, George! Thanks for looking.

By: mrds : January 31st, 2021-02:10

Whaouah Daniel, awesome review. I think we have similar sized wrists so I am getting some very bad ideas from this post. Just a spectacular piece my friend. Enjoy wearing that amazing micro machine 🔥

By: holdemchamp1225 : January 31st, 2021-08:26

My apologies...

By: mrds : February 1st, 2021-14:05

for bringing up some dark thoughts in you, dear Champ 😁 Yes, the DB28 is surprisingly friendly to small wrists. I was surprised I can wear them on my small wrist, gIven the almost 43mm case. Just make sure you have the short lugs installed, then it perfec...

Not your fault Daniel. DB has been on my mind for a while and this particular model just might have pushed me over the edge but I must control myself and remain patient as my hit list is long enough already 😅😉

By: holdemchamp1225 : February 2nd, 2021-05:22

I‘m well aware of the incredible growth rate of those lists.... 😜

By: mrds : February 2nd, 2021-06:55

Really puts our impulse control under test!

Agreed 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️😉
