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…

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.
