DB28 Owners?
Any thoughts on De Bethune in general or the DB28 specifically? I visited Watchbox in NYC today with a friend who I met through this site, and was really surprised by how wearable it was due to the lugs.
It’s very thin, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of finishing too.
The yellow titanium version was amazing too.

I own a couple pieces and regard the DB28 as their hallmark line.
As you’ve seen, they are masters of colored titanium, but the finishing, lightness, and overall design make for a special addition to a collection. While their unique lugs facilitate wearability, the size may be too big for some. So, their recent offering...
Love it!
It is certainly very simple as a time only, but it still has its character and wrist presence💪🏽.
Not an owner, but love the DeBethune DB28.
They just look so special and the lugs just look amazing. Marc
They look amazing!
I have always been curious about scratch resistance, especially on the blue models.
I own two DBs for almost a decade now .
The DB27 is the most comfortable big watch i own due to those amazing lugs . If your into the market for an DB the a DB28 is a excellent option imho
Still love it after all these years. Need to wear it more as its a bit lost in the collection nowadays.
But after i do some consolidation i know i will start wearing it more eventually
😋 wearing mine now! The version in your picture has my most favorite hand set of any watch.
If you haven't watched any of the old yt videos with David Zanetta that's a fun rabbit hole. I don't think they get enough credit for how much they do in-house and it's a different / non traditional design and finishing that's maybe more construction inte...
I had owned the db28
Black and rose gold. It was my favorite watch. Very wearable. Unfortunately at the time finances dictated moving on. If II could, I would get it again
I started with DB3 back some 20 years ago
and have fallen in love with this amazing brand. That said, I'm still clinging to those earlier designs. ...
My favorite watchmaker
For me what they do is fantastic- interesting, beautiful, technically superb and very stylish. I own DB28, 25 and 15 and love them all. Needless to say, the influence of D. Zanetta was enormous and his departure massively upset me and some part of my conn...
