All about the Vintage VDB F24 Gulf HIS Limited 2

The F24 Gulf embodies exactly what VDB (the abbreviation, by the way, stands for the apt designation Vintage Daily Beater) represents: a striking, masculine design, trimmed to the unmistakable vintage look. Although round, metaphorically speaking, it still has edges and corners. VDB has built its roots into its name. The 'E' stands for Erfurt, where the brand was founded.

The 1/2 is sold. This one (2/2) is the one from the video. "Mine". I might part with it if necessary. The watch from the video. Something special. 2 years warranty from purchase, etc...

Technical Perfection and High-Quality Craftsmanship

The case of this exceptional watch impresses with generous dimensions of 46 x 55.5 x 18 mm. Crafted from high-quality, coated stainless steel, it conveys not only robustness but also a striking and modern aesthetic. This choice of material ensures exceptional durability and makes the watch a reliable companion in demanding situations.

The watch's bezel is a special highlight. It is unidirectional and equipped with a precise micro-ratchet mechanism, ensuring high functionality. A ceramic inlay visually completes the bezel and underlines the combination of modern design and longevity. The screw-down crown provides additional security and significantly contributes to the high water resistance.

Sapphire Crystal and Exceptional Water Resistance

The dial is protected by a robust sapphire crystal, which is not only extremely scratch-resistant but also ensures optimal readability. With an impressive water resistance of 500 meters, this watch meets the demands of even extreme diving adventures. Whether in everyday life or under challenging conditions - this watch impresses with its reliability.

A Swiss Heart for Highest Precision

Inside the watch beats an automatic Swiss movement of type ETA 2824-2. This proven caliber not only guarantees maximum accuracy but also reliable function. The precision and quality of the movement reflect the expertise and craftsmanship of Swiss watchmaking.

Exclusive Equipment and Accessories

The watch comes with an extensive set that leaves nothing to be desired. Included in the delivery are a handcrafted leather strap as well as a robust rubber strap, both of which emphasize the comfort and versatility of the watch. A high-quality VDB clasp, a stylish leather pouch, and a certification card complete the package and make this watch a special overall work.

This combination of precision, design, and thoughtful accessories makes the watch a loyal companion for adventurers and lovers of high-quality timepieces.

My personal view on the Vintage VDB F24 Gulf HIS Limited 2

David Drilling Fazit

"... denn ich bin SCHOCKverliebt! "1970 war Steve McQueen in Hollywood einer der ganz großen Stars. Am Motorsporthimmel erstrahlte zur selben Zeit ein Stern namens Porsche. Nach zwanzig Jahren vergeblicher Versuche gewann die Marke 1970 endlich den so lange ersehnten Oscar des Motorsports: Die 24 Stunden von Le Mans. Die ganze Story zu GULF, den Film Le Mans, Porsche 917 & Co kannst Du hier nachlesen: https://www.octane-magazin.de/lemans-porsche-917-024-der-filmheld-der-nie-ein-rennen-gewann/ " Die VDB F24 GULF HIStorisch ist einfach MEINE Uhr. Und das ist wirklich schockierend, das ich sogar eine Gänsehaut und feuchte Augen bekommen habe, als ich die Uhr das erste Mal in der Hand hatte. Die "normale" VDB F24 GULF ist schon der Hammer, aber diese auf alt getrimmte GULF - OMG... wenn man bedenkt das es "nur" eine Uhr ist und kein Ferrari oder so... HAHAHA... LOL... klar, MUSS man mögen, ICH mag sie total!! "

FAQs

About David from WATCHDAVID

My name is David, and I've been deeply involved with watches for many years – not just as a dealer, but primarily as a tester, photographer, and classifier.

Since 2018, I’ve been running WATCHDAVID as an independent watch project featuring reviews, videos, and real-world wearing experiences. Many of the watches you'll find here have been on my own wrist – often for extended periods.

WATCHDAVID.SHOP is intentionally personal. I only sell watches that I genuinely stand behind – no anonymous mass-produced goods, no dropshipping, no "quick trends." Experience, transparency, and honest assessment are paramount to me.

And yes: I am not an anonymous seller. I enjoy good food, sneakers, and photography – and I have a proven weakness for Kinder Chocolate.

If you have any questions or are unsure, feel free to contact me directly. I will respond personally.


Shipping & Insurance

Within Germany and the EU, shipping is free of charge. Shipping is handled by DHL and insured up to €500, €2,500 or €25,000, depending on the watch's value. The watches are therefore always sufficiently insured.

You can find the delivery time in the description and/or below the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after an order is placed, while others are brand new and, for example, will only be available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...

Revocation & Return Shipping

You can revoke your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.

I will cover the return shipping costs for you.

IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself; I will send you the free return label.

To do this, please simply contact me. david@watchdavid.com

It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of any signs of wear. After a successful inspection, I will refund the purchase price to you. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.

Authenticity & Condition of the Watches

I guarantee that all watches I offer are exclusively new, original goods. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly state otherwise (e.g., so-called PHOTO WATCHES).

As an official dealer, I exclusively offer authentic products. These are offered in their original packaging, with a warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in a so-called Full Set. Some deliver more, some less...

Warranty & Service

All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which is usually two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.

Should a warranty claim arise, I will take care of shipping the watch to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and will also organize its return to you. In addition, I will handle all communication with the manufacturer, so you don't have to worry about anything.

Even after the warranty period has expired, I will remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.

No answer received?

You contacted me, via the contact form, about the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you didn't receive a reply?

Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and crazier and are sending more and more to spam.

I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it may take a little longer. As a rule, I reply within a few minutes or hours.

Something can also slip through for me. Or the technology isn't working as it should. Feel free to contact me again. david@watchdavid.com

Mechanics - Sometimes things can go wrong

Before I ship your order, I carefully inspect each watch for visible defects.

However, should a problem arise, such as a defect during transit, please inform me immediately. I will do everything in my power to find a quick solution and ensure your satisfaction.

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!

Further questions? About the watch? Anything else?

Feel free to ask me anything at any time. Just send me a message. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. NOT a chatbot, other person, or AI.
