De Bethune DB28XP Steel Wheels: The one I let get away.

The one I let get away. I owned the watch for two months, bought it from a grey dealer, loved it, but barely wore it. At 42mm in TI, it is broad, and the floating lugs provide a small amount of help but at the expense of strapping it down pretty tightly. This probably isn't a watch a 15-year-old should be wearing to school thus I entrusted Christie's with selling the watch before (both) the controversies, past that I am happy with the result and would like to congratulate the new owner, enjoy. smile

Probably I wouldn’t have sell it (but to be honest I didn’t try it on my wrist and this is an essential thing to do to take a decision) but this is based on my opinion which is irrelevant, only yours counts and you were not feeling comfortable with it or ... 

Thank you

I loved it when I got it, a LOT. Over time the constant worry of banging a hundred-thousand-dollar watch against a desk while doing algebra is probably not the greatest distraction for an already easily distracted student. Ill probably end up with somethi...
