Vintage VDB E23 Military Surface diving watch
All about the Vintage VDB E23 Military Surface diving watch
Everything about the Vintage VDB E23 Military Surface diving watch, which impresses with a black dial and rubber strap.
The E23 Military Surface embodies exactly what VDB (the acronym stands for the apt name Vintage Daily Beater) is all about: a striking, masculine design >, trimmed for the unmistakable vintage look. Round, in the figurative sense, but somehow with corners and edges. VDB has its roots built into its name. The 'E' stands for Erfurt, where the brand was founded.
The movement of the Vintage VDB E23 Military Surface diving watch
When it comes to the movement, VDB does not experiment and chooses no lesser movement than the famous ETA 2824-2. The Swiss automatic movement with the illustrious name has been the top dog in the premium segment for decades. Even though some manufactured movements have now outstripped their power reserve, you can get through the day easily with the 38 hours that the ETA offers. span>
The characteristics of the E23 Military Surface diving watch
The housing finish of the processed stainless steel makes an excellent impression, feels good and conveys a special value despite (or perhaps because of?) the used look.
The E23 is a diving watch Military Surface waterproof to depths of 500 meters, making the E23 Military Surface is also ideal for taking with you on at least semi-professional dives due to the unidirectional rotating bezel .
The VDB E23 Military Surface measures an impressive 46 millimeters in diameter. The length between the lugs is even 55 millimeters and the height is 18 millimeters.
Suitable for VDB E23 Military Surface, the vintage leather strap is also available for EUR 150.-. The watch comes standard with therubber strap.

My conclusion:

"I didn't really need any final “proof” as to why the decision to include VDB in my shop was a good and correct one. The VDB E23 Military Surface delivered it to me anyway. With its exceptional yet timeless design and premium materials, it is a watch that stands out and whose confident look and presence will be remembered. There is no question that the E23 is a well-made watch. "

About me
My name is David, I was born in the late 60s in NRW, now live and work in the beautiful Harz Mountains, and have been running this watch shop, among other things, since spring 2022.
Since 2018, I have also been running my watch blog watchdavid.de, which features hundreds of reviews and watch news. Since then, I have taken thousands of professional watch photos for over 100 watch brands. Many photos can be found in my reviews. I am known worldwide for this.
As a result, I naturally had thousands of watches in my hands. And with this shop, I want to bring you closer to watches that have convinced me in many ways.
So come along on a journey full of watches... off the mainstream... and if you have a question, please feel free to ask me anytime via the form, chat, WhatsApp, email or phone.
I am very much looking forward to meeting you.
PS: My hobbies & passions include the internet (first agency already in 1996), Denmark, France's coasts (Brittany, Normandy & Côte d’Azur), hiking, e-MTB, sales (Bachelor of Sales) and photography.
My Achilles' heel includes children's chocolate, good food, sneakers & of course watches... :-)
Shipping & Insurance
Within Germany and the EU, I ship free of charge. Shipping is done via DHL and insured up to 500€, 2,500€, or 25,000€, depending on the watch value. The watches are thus always sufficiently insured.
The delivery time can be found in the description and/or under the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after ordering, others are brand new and, for example, only available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...
Cancellation & Return Shipping
You can cancel your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.
I will cover the costs for the return shipping for you.
IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself, I will send you the free return label.
Please simply contact me for this. david@watchdavid.com
It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of signs of use. After successful inspection, I will refund you the purchase price. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.
Authenticity & Condition of the Watches
I guarantee you that all watches I offer are exclusively new original products. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly point this out (e.g. so-called PHOTO WATCHES).
As an official dealer, I offer you exclusively authentic products. These are offered in the original packaging, with warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in the so-called full set. One delivers more, another less...
Warranty & Service
All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which usually lasts two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.
If a warranty case occurs, I will take care of the shipping to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and also organize the return shipment to you. In addition, I handle all communication with the manufacturer so that you don't have to worry about anything.
Even after the warranty period has expired, I remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.
No response received?
You wrote to me via the contact form, through the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you haven't received a reply?
Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and pushing more and more into spam.
I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it can sometimes take a bit longer. As a rule, I respond within a few minutes or hours.
Something can slip past me sometimes too. Or the technology doesn't work as it should. Feel free to write to me again at david@watchdavid.com
Mechanics - Sometimes things can happen there too
Before I ship your order, I carefully check each watch for visible defects.
If a problem should occur, such as damage during transport, please inform me immediately. I will do everything possible to quickly find a solution and ensure that you are satisfied.
My goal is to offer you not only high-quality products but also a first-class shopping experience. I look forward to welcoming you as a satisfied customer!
