There's another word - GREAT!
These VDBs are very interesting and they seem to have some gorgeous models.
Enjoy it! Please post more pics with better color balance so we can see the bronze finish!

mounted an old VDB strap with matching VDB bronze buckle. tried my best to take some pics with my iphone but with the convex crystal the reflections are always appearing.

Congrats leeye! happy guy.gif

I'm lovin' these VDB 2013 models in both SS and Bronze versions (a bit torn between both versions if I have to pick one)...I'm thinking I may not be able to resist picking one up sooner rather than later.

Looks incredible! thumbsup.gif

Hello leeye,
this is a very nice watch. I have it in steel and would like to see it beside the triggerfish.
Saw your group shot in the Kaventsmann thread and enjoyed it very much. Could you please make a comparison shot with the triggerfisch and the 2013 or a group foto with both of them?
Thank you very much

Hi tbs7777,

The VDB 2013 Bronze is smaller as compared to the Kaventsmann Triggerfish which is a hefty chuck of metal. Nevertheless I will take some nice pics this weekend.ThumbsUp02.gif

some pics taken with my iPhone. will take some better pics over the weekend.

note: the Triggerfish is rated to 3000m whereas the VDB 2013 is rated to 500m, hence the difference in case/crystal thickness.


Triggerfish uses a 24mm width strap and VDB uses 28mm width strap.

That's a fine pair. Haven't seen the two together and I think that your side by side willl help many to decide which to pursue. Both great and interesting additions to the wonderful world of watches!

Hi Lee,
thanks a lot. thankyou.gif
Very nice pics, they give a good first impression of the two watches.
I really love those side by side pics.
As mentioned, I have a SS 2013 and find it much more comfortable and better to wear on the wrist than my gone Helson Shark diver bronze.
Now I am on the fence to add a Kaventsmann to my small collection - but I am not sure whether it might be to bulky.
So, I would enjoy some more pics from you after the weekend.
