mondeov6 0 Posted March 4, 2011 A while ago I started to look for something different, not to completely get stuck in the "PAM department". This is what I found and liked a lot right away. The Anonimo Cronoscopio, yellow dial. Not a choice everyone would make... but I am very pleased with what I choose! (Bought from Hont, trusted at RWI). The Anonimo has a bit of a "Pam-ish" look and feel to it and that is a very good thing in my book! From what I have read about Anonimo it was founded in 1997 to "save the Florentine Tradition of Military Watch Making". (I.E. picking up where Panerai left off.) To the watch..... As a watch this Anonimo is very well made and has absolutely no flaws as far as I can see. Compared to the gen I believe (from what I have been reading) it has a couple of flaws. One obvious beeing the size of the subdials. They do not cover 12 and 6 as much as the gen. But really...I could not care less. I bought the watch "as is" beacuse I like it just the way it is!...no,... not just like....I loooove this watch! Some info: Asia 7750 Valjoux Working Chronograph movement Case: 50mm (53mm including crown), thickness 15mm Sapphire Glass, Screw-down crown. Price: 226$ Original strap is a quite nice black 24/20 "Kodiak" strap. But I think my strap from Bob Bean looks so much better! Pictures: Thank's for looking!

MikeyMouseWatch 0 Posted March 4, 2011 Well I don't know, this one doesn't look very appealing to me either, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Hope the chrono doesn't break down on you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted March 4, 2011 Interesting pickup, Rolf. I gotta say it's not really my kinda thing, but it's certainly different! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graman 2 Posted March 4, 2011 I'd love the non-chrono version with the bronze case, and orange dial! I like anonimo...they grow on you.... Congrats mate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mondeov6 0 Posted March 5, 2011 Well...just like I thought this watch is kind of a "love it or hate it" watch. What I can say is they look better "live" than on pictures. The yellow dial I choose has allready been the object of...."WTF!!??"...and.."Ohhh, beautiful!" WTF from my neighbour who really did not like it at all, and the other verdict from my wife! (and that is a good thing)! Anyway...and most important is...I like it! I am actually allready looking at a non chrono black or orange Anonimo. As Graman says... they do grow on you...just like Panerai do. When I joined RWG I really did not know anything about PAM's, did not like them very much..... and now....I looooove them! Thank's a lot for your input guys.... much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted March 5, 2011 I don't know why, but the non chrono version reminds me of the railmaster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mondeov6 0 Posted March 5, 2011 I don't know why, but the non chrono version reminds me of the railmaster I like the orange dial one you posted a picture of. I might go for that one. I think I have to many watches with a black dial and colours do brighten things up!...don't they Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted March 5, 2011 I was thinking yellow, to my eyes the non chrono yellow is less vibrant than your one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mondeov6 0 Posted March 5, 2011 I was thinking yellow, to my eyes the non chrono yellow is less vibrant than your one? That one looks really nice too. Colour looks a bit more "green-ish" yellow to me. Hard to tell the excact tone from the pictures but mine is definitly more yellow. These Anonimos are really growing on me!
