From all the feedback on his thread, it's clear there's a lot of love for De Bethune on this forum! So let's keep the party rolling! I'd love to start a De Bethune appreciation thread and see what pieces folks have in their collections. I have to think be...  

The brand has struggled, I wish I understood more about why.

While I have sold as many DB as almost anyone on Earth, including many that feature on this forum, this unique DB28T I bought for myself. Definitely not the sort of thing I would usually choose, when I saw it I thought "this is the most beautiful watch I'...  

I think I can comfortably say that is my favorite blinged-out piece of all time. Thanks for posting!

It put a big smile on my face as well! Equal parts beautiful and outrageous

Normally not a fan of diamond watches but this DB is def a watch i would love to wear one day. So bluetiful 👌🏻🤗

I’m not an owner, but I think many of De Bethune’s watches are beautiful and modern. Some are not to my taste, but I think they’ve hit their stride with the articulating lugs. The DB28 is the signature and the one I might choose myself. With a large budge... 

The digitale, the sky bridge, and the starry varius are all amazing. Incredibly elegant and intriguing designs. ...  

And I personally like it so much more than the original. De Bethune are always tinkering with their designs in real-time and re-thinking concepts. One of the advantages of being such a small manufacturer.

That DB 28 is a stunner and the Dream watch is def a dream watch for me . Here a pic of my beloved DB27 . Funny you started this treat as i also have a other DB incoming next week, i hope 🙏🏻🤗 ...  

You know, De Bethune are best known for their blues, but the salmon dial on the DB 27 is stunning! Please do post your new arrival here as well next week! 😀 I wonder what it is?

I‘ve been in love with De Bethune since I first saw the DBS with its avant-garde design and revolving moon! The DB 28 is the one I hope to someday add to my collection. But they have so many fascinating pieces, it‘s really tough to decide where to start. ... 

But I agree with you, the DB 28 is the most iconic piece for the brand IMHO. It’s so comfortable with the floating lugs and relatively thin, it’s hard to take off the wrist and wear anything else 😀

Love the third one. Thanks for sharing. Vte

Here’s a photo I took yesterday that I think came out well. Like a lot of watches the dial changes a lot based on lighting and angles. The whiteness of the titanium case also shows well here, I think. Looking forward to seeing more DeBethune beauties here...  

You know, I think De Bethune Grade 5 Titanium is some of the best in the business. I'm curious, Gary, do you know what celestial view of the sky your dial represents? Is it the Milky Way? Best, NickO
