The things I love about Anonimo...
- the history behind the brand (and as you know the historical connections to Panerai and Mr. Dino Zei himself who is still very involved at Anonimo today).
- the old world casework of Anonimo is out-of-this-world spectacular and is the major differentiator for me with this brand...really great stuff across the entire model line...and as William pointed out, I really see originality in the case and dial designs of Anonimo. (No "in-house" movement development with Anonimo if that matters to you, but Anonimo does provide extra finishing and adjustment of the movements that they put in their watches and they have always been very accurate, and a step-up in winding smoothness for me when comparing it to the same movement in most other brands...just my experience).
- also enjoy the fact that Anonimo designs very classic, clean, and uncluttered models along with some very bold, wild, and in-your-face models too.
- I actually like the fact that the Anonimo brand is "under-the-radar" to Joe public (and even some 'WIS'). You will get compliments yes, but no one has any idea what is on your wrist!
Don't get me wrong...I really do drool over many of the Panerai models on a regular basis (and heck, there are so many great WIS here at 3T that are likely finding they have too many great Panerai in their collection to really give them the wrist time they deserve...I would gladly offer my wrist to give their excess PAMs some well deserved wrist time!!!
The Panerai brand has obviously experienced great success, but with great success comes very high prices for both new and preowned pieces....bummer.Here are some pics of a few :
