Steel wheels vs starry seas. And how is DB after sales service?
Think I already asked the question about how DB after sales service but interested since I'm definitely valuing this more than ever. Tried on both the starry seas and the steel wheels. I honestly thought that the starry seas would be the easy pick but I liked the mirror polishing and style of the steel wheels much more than I expected. I also thought db28 had screw down crowns, but neither of these did.

I can't answer your question in good conscience since I haven't seen either in the metal.
Which is, unsurprisingly, a major point of newfound query for yourself 😉👍. Thanks for the candid pics, and let us know if you make a decision! Cheers, Filip
The Steel Wheels is so much more impressive to me as I find the mirror polishing effect impressive along with the openwork-like wheels.
Plus, the large delta aesthetic is a hallmark of DBs forward thinking / futuristic designs.
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, perh...
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...

The after sales service is very perfect👍🏻. These Watches are very incredible, light, confortable… I wear it during my motorbike compétition and no problem.
