definetely after B Oliver...
For a)materials
b)rejection rate as De bethune won t settle for second grade
c)hours of intervention by hand from a skilled artisan
d)small production
The dials on the DB 25 starry sky for example takes 4 or 5 different stages to obtain a blue like that from titanium...and the rejection is quite high.
If you inspect closely a guillochet from DB again you 'll find that its quite difficult to find a more exquisite one on the market.

Let me introduce you my latest baby, the DB10 Réédition!
I have just had it on my wrist for 3 days and I'm happy like a 4 years old with a jar of candies. But I have to tell you why I bought this watch. Let's back to the beginning of the year at the SIHH. After some difficulties (due to a profesional engagement...

I was not aware about a reedition of the DB5...
You know, this réédition is like an UFO in the DB collection. I'm not sure that De bethune will unveil a similar watch soon... Thanks Ken for your words! Fx

Congrats again FX. Lovely piece and so DB yet so unlike DB
I could not read about a 1/4 of your post due to the VC/Linda Werdelin and Market Place column ads but this Re-Ed looks very very nice.

Beautiful!
Great watch and lovely details. They are coming out with some really special watches at the moment. Enjoy! Andrew
Exquisite!!!!!
Well done once more FX! The watch face is a marvel.The different guillochage is the "forte "of this watch.I must admit that De Bethune work on their dials is SECOND TO NONE.De Bethune Dials are the best around,I remember Alessandro Zanetta telling me that...
I'm very happy to read your words Mo.
You have a huge part in this outcome! Thanks a lot! Fx
"a DB dial is more expensive than a regular chrono movement"
Hi Mo, which kind of movement was he talking about? A) below 200 sfr movement (ETA ...) B) between 500 and 2.500 sfr (Soprod, Sowind ...) C) or top-level (Renaud Papi, BNB ...) I am just curious and expect minimum B when I look at their dials Oliver

Mo: That blue De Bethune watch is magnificent. It is absolutely stunning. I am sure it brings you much joy. I am new to De Bethune watches (that is why a private message). Will you be so kind as to tell me the model of that blue watch in your post? I did ...
Hi markieesq,my watch is
a DB 25starry sky relased in 2010.The best way to get to know where you can purchase one is to contact directly De Bethune via mail. By the way I didn t get you PM. Mo
Beautiful watch.
I'm not a fan of pointer calendars, but looking at the gorgeous movement I guess I can forget it. Congrats, and enjoy it. Vte
Thanks a lot Vicente!
The dial is so beautiful that sometimes I forget the date display! Fx
Huge congrats Foversta
I like the DB10 very, very much, for me it's the hottest watch in your collection. The DB10 has fantastic looks with these lugs. Gorgeous piece, GEO
Thanks a lot Geo!
Yes, I'm very proud to have it in my collection... and I enjoy each second I spend with it. Fx
great watch
very nice catch! The dial is as amazing as the dial. Enjoy it to the fullest! Best Andreas
CONGRATS!!
Wow Francois Xavier, that is a gorgeous watch! Big congrats. I must admit I'm a bit jealous of your new "baby". Enjoy it and wear it in good health.
Congratulations on your watch and choice FX
I think this is the better choice aesthetically versus the white gold model. Regards, Richard.
It was a difficult choice Richard...
To be honest with you, only the protoype of the PG version was available in Geneva at the beginning of year. I only discovered the WG version in Basel much later after my order... But I was sure in my mind that the PG version was warmer, more elegant. The...
It's gorgeous!
Looks great on you! I am a big fan of De Bethune! They bring together a potent mix of design and technology. While, I'd prefer a non-date version of this watch, the dial is to die for! Let's not even talk about my love for their movements. Just dreamy! En...
Beautiful Piece, Congratulations
I remember speaking to Pierre Jacques about this watch when he visited Los Angeles. It was just a notion then. Now it's reality. Would love to see it in person!
Thanks Meehna!
Pierre had a strong influence in the decision making of the DB10. It is the reason why I have to thank him a lot! Fx
Great addition!
I love EVERYTHING about the DB10. If I can sell my DB9 - the watch, not the car, just to be clear, I will definitely get this. Thanks for sharing, if not tempting!! Best, Horo
