Independents

Any thoughts on De Bethune in general or the DB28 specifically? I visited Watchbox in NYC today with a friend who I met through this site, and was really surprised by how wearable it was due to the lugs. 

As you’ve seen, they are masters of colored titanium, but the finishing, lightness, and overall design make for a special addition to a collection.  While their unique lugs facilitate wearability, the size may be too big for some.  So, their recent offerings of smaller sizes may be more to your liking.

It is certainly very simple as a time only, but it still has its character and wrist presence💪🏽.

They just look so special and the lugs just look amazing.

Never any issues

I have always been curious about scratch resistance, especially on the blue models.

The DB27 is the most comfortable big watch i own due to those amazing lugs .
If your into the market for an DB the a DB28 is a excellent option imho

PICSSSS

But after i do some consolidation i know i will start wearing it more eventually

If you haven't watched any of the old yt videos with David Zanetta that's a fun rabbit hole. I don't think they get enough credit for how much they do in-house and it's a different  / non traditional design and finishing that's maybe more construction intensive than hand filing. Once you get used to wearing the articulating lugs you wonder why all watches aren't like that.

Black and rose gold.  It was my favorite watch. Very wearable. Unfortunately at the time finances dictated moving on.  If II could, I would get it again

and have fallen in love with this amazing brand. That said, I'm still clinging to those earlier designs.
