*THE* quintessential iteration...
...of *THE* quintessential QP. If ever that second one went to market Allen (but why would you? Ever?) you know where it must live next. Darn, you can pick 'em!!!
Cheers,
pplater.
Superb ...
and especially the DB25T is just so understated & sophisticated at the same time.
There is a lot of spirit from the golden era of pocket watches without missing modern and unique features. If only I could afford one ;-)
The new DB25QP is very nice and especially with the grey dial, but the former version wasn´t bad as well ...
... but you know this much better than me
Allan, thanks for joining/sharing.

I feel that De Bethune is gaining quite a bit of momentum
As an early adopter of the brand, I'm so happy to see so many fans today!
Let's hope they keep up the innovation and wonderful designs.
DB15 and dial finish
Hey Oliver, it's the first time I realize the dials of BD25QP vs DB15 are not finished the same.
I thought the dials were the same.
Maybe I have a preference for the DB25QP's...
Thanks for the addtional pics.
Pretty much the same, even if there were a few guillochet iterations
on the DB15
DB25QP is the top of my list now,I always admired De Bethune Guillochet dials....and I don t have one.
I coud for a perfect trio,the grey dial wg is superb but the salmon plat case is the top.

I love it too.
The DB25 case, plus the balanced dial layout....
And yes I thought they were all the same, ie "guillochet". Seems I was wrong
There have been so many ...
(even minor) changes in the past that it was almost impossible to track them, at least for me. It felt almost like you can´t place your order without being surprised what the final product looks like. Most of the time it was a good move, but still a surprise

Thanks Oliver, this is something to look after when going for second hand. [nt]
No message body
Thanks Mo
It was great to meet you and share your enthusiasm for De Bethune.
Hope to see you again sometime soon.
This thread makes me sick...
in most positive way
Sick from love
Sick from passion
Sick from craving
Some truly outstanding shots dear Oliver
an pieces to die for
If AHCI then DeBethune my new motto
Thank you very much and to all other participants
for this early Saturday sensory overload
Yours

Dear Damjan, just one comment ...
De Bethune is not part of AHCI
Sorry, couldn´t resist!
HAGWE, Oliver
Sorry, couldn´t resist!
HAGWE, Oliver
Slap taken stoically
and thank you for teaching me again
and showing me that I'm fool in love
OK I'll change my mantra in
"If Independent then DeBethune!!"
Ok now?
Cheers

Thought I'd share a friend's superb DB25 QP
And some various gratuitous pics from Basel 2012....
Superb work...
Cheers,

Nice models here, thanks Tim
by the way, your friend's QP is the DB15 (recognizable to its specific lugs)
Cheers, Mark
Ah ha, thanks for the correction Mark.
Appreciate the high levels of knowledge here!!!

Mo, there have been ...
several (early) versions and one I think you might like ...
(picture is not mine ... sorry)
Oliver

Yes spectacular combo, strong but stunning
It s a hard contender to salmon dial with blue numerals.....
Mmmmmm hard choice.
Mo
WOW!
Thanks for this amazing thread and everybody for sharing! I am in the middle of a full-blown "girl crush" on DB right now and this made me feel a lot better... Glad I'm not the only one!!
Hi Mo, I believe this to be an early watch.
Yes, this is a superb looking piece to my sensibility.
Cheers,
Tim
Cheers,

Tim, thanks a lot for sharing your pictures ...
and passion with us. The DB15QP has the same complication as the DB25QP, but comes with a different movement. I like them both
