Whaouah Daniel, awesome review. I think we have similar sized wrists so I am getting some very bad ideas from this post. Just a spectacular piece my friend. Enjoy wearing that amazing micro machine 🔥

First impressions: De Bethune DB28Z

I still remember the day in 2005 when De Bethune released the DBS. The moment I saw it, I knew I wanted it. It was well beyond my financial means and so it remained a dream, but a dream that kept alive over the years and that let me admire De Bethune's wa...  

Stunning, absolutely outstanding!

Huge Congrats, excellent choice. Thats one beautiful and very cool DB .

Like you my love for the brand started many years ago. The moment i saw a DB in person it was love at first side. A few years ago i was able to purchase my first , a DB27 and two years I was lucky to add a early DB10 . Hope you will enjoy your amazing DB2...  

It took a while but you succeded, eventually

Your photos are great, some macro shots are stunning. I've always loved DB like you and many others, but it's still beyond my means, though I'm truly happy when a long term aficionado achieve his dream. Now there's only one question, what's next?

Grazie mille!

Hmmm.. what‘s next? Refueling my bank account I guess 😂 I had a great 2020 and I guess it’s time for a pause or, if I‘m strong enough, to slim down and focus my collection.

Fantastic watch and congrats on the purchase!!!

I love debethune and pretty much everything they make and so am very happy to see more people buying their artworks! I can't wait to join you guys in 15 years ;P Btws, if I am not mistaken, didn't they invent their own finishing style where it is more bro...

I can say from my own experience, 15 years of longing definitely grow the pleasure once you have it on your wrist. I cross my fingers for you!

That definitely makes me happy to hear that even after so long, the watch is still majestic!

Well, will get back to you in 15 years. I honestly can't believe it has been that long as it is an amazing watch that still looks extremely modern

Terrific review!

Love that macro of the balance wheel, it looks completely surreal!

Thank you very much Daniel

My apologies...

for bringing up some dark thoughts in you, dear Champ 😁 Yes, the DB28 is surprisingly friendly to small wrists. I was surprised I can wear them on my small wrist, gIven the almost 43mm case. Just make sure you have the short lugs installed, then it perfec...
