Pam homage history

Someone spent a lot of money on a 6152/1 at a GTG. They took it apart to service it and the dial had a smell of A1 sauce about it. Theory at the time was they used it to age the dial/indices. If I remember rightly the jokes were daily for about three months at the time…

+1 joke never got old

A brief history of the VDB brand.
The name VDB comes from professional cyclist Franck VAnDenBroucke, who died in 2009.
Why choose this name?
Stephan Obst is a former cyclist.
After selling Panerai tributes, he moved on to other types of watches under the VDB “Vintage Daily Beater” brand (instead of Vintage VDB). I remember that at the time, everyone on the old hf forum admired his work until the BBQ sauce incident.

I read the Wiki page on Franck Van Den Broucke ,man with a lot of problems died very young .
