Many thanks for the award Art!

Lots of great entrants in all categories this month. I particularly liked the Rexhepi - a rare bird indeed. The blued titanium on the DB range is a joy to photograph- it always helps to have a great model🤣

Many thanks for such an informative post.

Design aesthetic is a matter of personal taste. I have the original titanium model which I prefer but understand that others may not. What I can’t understand is the price differential with the watch only LV costing 3x the price of the DB own model in Tita

First I hated it and with a little time I changed my mind and now I really like it and since budget/value is right out the window on this one, I'll take the clock too 😂

I think the application of some of the LV design codes do dumb down the De Bethune original and that's great! The traditional lug shape, more straight forward hands and markers, less romantic but easier to digest and maybe this will introduce the De Bethu

It's not bad...

...and that is a terrible way to describe something that should be WOW. I don't dislike it, the little day/night indicator is very DB, even though seeing it move through a 24 hour GMT display makes that somewhat redundant. The blue is very DB as well, and

Both? 😂 GMT if you'll use the feature, DB otherwise?

Based on movement complication and architecture alone the DB is the winner for me. I think the DB makes sense as a sports watch movement for GF, it's a more durable option than the inclined / double tourbillons and the design of the constant force remonto

Soon getting some company

In a few days I shall be picking up an addition to my DB collection. But in the meantime, after a few months of PP, I thought I’d give this DB28xs some wrist time before “big brother” arrives!

Yes, this is my understanding too, CR.

It's actually a dynamic I've had interest in too over the years. Lange's cases are currently produced by four different partners (FT, CO, SUG & db). For Limited Editions, I imagine Lange Uhren could specify the case numbers - but for production pieces I u

From your posts, it doesnt appear

you understand hand-finishing because you spoke of the lugs of DB as an example of hand-finishing, which is hogwash. And when I discussed the concept of artisanal watchmaking, where hand-finishing is the whole allure of the package (no ones buy Akrivia fo
