thx Nico
I never thought I would fall in love with this watch. It is so unlike the rest of my portfolio. Maybe my tastes have changed, perhaps yours too :P Best Sam
Tastes maturate, indeed, but we can also fall in love with such different watches.
Look, I am mad about a Rolex 6542, a vintage GMT Master, and a JLC Master Minute Repeater. Two totally opposite worlds. Can we say that one is more desirable than the other? No! That is the beauty ( and the danger ) of our hobby! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Beautiful piece!!! Congratulations!!
These watches by De Bethune are a dream!!! Hope to see lots more of this beauty here!! Congrats again! S
Congratulations Sam
The DB28 is a unique piece in this field and a beautiful De Bethune. Cheers, Mark
Thank you Mark
The brand makes only a few hundred pieces each year so almost all models are unique. My first reaction to this piece was - nah - but I changed my mind after putting it on the wrist. Regards Sam
you my friend have just gotten one of the most techically and aesthetically amazing
watches currently on the market!
Congrat Sam

Hi Joseph
Yes, I still fancy that one - 40 mm fits my wrist better. Who knows, I may get that one as well :) Best Sam

So already three out of 35 made so far owned by Purists seen in this column so far.... Cheers Sam
Substance truly meets beauty here......
Loads of technology and innovation blended perfectly with magnificent looks - that's the recipe for a modern icon. One of my favorite DeBethunes to be sure. Would love to see more scans at some point. Darren
You're convincing me - I have to get myself a de Bethune
Congratulations! Wear your watch in good health, Samwan. Frighteningly, there's a very convincing dealer within 10 miles of where I am typing these words... ...
