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...  

Congrats! Would absolutely love to see that baby in the metal, next time you are in town...! ;-) Cheers, Rob

I wished to see you on Saturday morning but the boutique was busy... so I didn't enter. Next time! Fx

Congrats D

As I wrote it, it is a dream for me to have a De Bethune watch... Fx

... but didn't they talk about re-edition of DB5, too....? That is my basic, basic masterpiece, to me, at least.... But this DB10 looks really nice.... Ken

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

Looks like De Bethune really is fast becoming a must-have for watch connoisseurs! Huge congratulations on the new acquisition! The DB10 re-edition is one of most classy looking De Bethune's ever! I'm sure you'll have plenty of smiles on your face! Enjoy i... 

In fact I had a happy face all day long! Fx

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.

Great catch, FX! Wish you lots of pleasure with that beauty on your wrist. Oliver

The watch is a subtle combo of originality and of classicism. Thanks for your words! Fx

You know how I love this brand and that I consider I'll have to own a DB watch one day. I imagine how it looks like in the flesh ... Take care of "her" ! Best, Mark

Sure you will have the opportunity to see it soon. Fx

I think it is the perfect watch, for me, to do my first presentation post in your forum ! Fx

Great watch and lovely details. They are coming out with some really special watches at the moment. Enjoy! Andrew

I was very impressed by the 2011 collection... Fx

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...  

You have a huge part in this outcome! Thanks a lot! Fx

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

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 f... 

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 ... 

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

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

The dial is so beautiful that sometimes I forget the date display! Fx

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

Yes, I'm very proud to have it in my collection... and I enjoy each second I spend with it. Fx

very nice catch! The dial is as amazing as the dial. Enjoy it to the fullest! Best Andreas

I will wear it for my next visit in Koln ! Fx

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.

I think this is the better choice aesthetically versus the white gold model. Regards, 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... 

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... 

You can be sure that I will enjoy it a lot! Fx

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!

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

...congrats!!

Beautiful and classy, these are the perfect words ! Fx

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

Coming from you, I really appreciate your comments ! Fx

Hi FX, Great watch! Hope to see it on the 10th in Paris. Br, Dirk
