Thanks for you input

True, DB really has something special
By: Mark in Paris : February 1st, 2012-06:48
as an independant and as a watch maker. It clears up the "fatigue" ^^ I join your thoughts when saying that it has its place in a collection, at many levels. Thank you very much for your message Arthur ! Best, Mark
Beautiful watch and great pictures!
By: David Elliott : January 31st, 2012-18:22
Thanks for sharing them and your comments as well. I am attracted to many of De Bethune watches. Unfortunately, my budget is not. Oh well, I can dream. Dave
Thank you Dave

The sweetness of De Bethune..
By: moc : February 2nd, 2012-00:20
comes in different forms and shapes. You obtained one of the nicest DB,their dials are amongst the most beautiful and best executed around,the attention to details is second to none,especially in this case I like the contrast between the classic looking d...
It is indeed something I keep telling myself
By: Mark in Paris : February 3rd, 2012-07:24
and as I know you are a De Bethune lover too, it is a very nice feeling to share. About the finish you're right, all models are not exactly at the same level but you mentionned it is of a very high grade, I think I'll take the time one day to make a dary ...
"comparision between this DB and my 1815"
By: small-luxury-world : February 3rd, 2012-21:55
Both brands seem to stick to their own values. Some of them are important to me and therefore I appreciate both a lot. Both brands have different aproaches, but they are both outstanding - for sure. Back to your point. Would love to see a (in-depth) compa...
I completely agree on your statement Oliver
By: Mark in Paris : February 7th, 2012-02:13
And concerning the comparision review I think it will be quite fun and as there are many subjects of discussions between them I bet many of the issues will be brought by members of the forum themselves , more than me ^^ Best, Mark
I am indeed
By: Mark in Paris : February 4th, 2012-03:52
The nice long period I can finally look at it as long I want !
Fantastic review, Mark!
By: sanro : February 11th, 2012-23:14
We seem to share much in our passion for watches. 1815 and DB25 are also two in my drawer... However, I will have to view your post once and again while my DB25 comes back from service...not a fast thing at DB I must say... Thanks for sharing! Juan
Two representative watches we have in common
By: Mark in Paris : February 13th, 2012-14:08
I haven't been confronted yet to a DB's servicing but I hope you'll be able to enjoy yours again soon ! Thanks Mark This message has been edited by Borale on 2012-02-13 14:09:42
The big thing...
By: sidneyc : February 13th, 2012-01:53
Well, it's not the "next" big thing because it's obviously getting big already! It's great to see more and more DB owners amongst us, and a lot of us are attracted to this innovative brand! Congrats Boreale on the great catch!
