    I believe we both have the same model...

    You can find it considerably cheaper from numerous sources. They also have white and brown dial variants.

    I love the sapphire crystal, thin case, drilled lugs, and butter smooth hand winding movement. I have also found it to be extremely accurate and consistent.

    It does have a larger than normal gap between the case and lug position which is great with a nato but might bother some with a two piece strap or bracelet. It doesn't bother me at at all. Not long ago on a shark mesh...

    Currently I have it on a vintage rivet style bracelet. I just took these images to try and show what I am talking about.

    The edge of the lug was dead sharp so I rounded it some (a personal preference) and I have lightly polished it as it was too matte in finish for my tastes. That said it is a huge bargain imo. I love the dial and it is worth the price for the movement alone to me.

    That's my biggest complaint about the watch... but I will say I have bumped it into a few things and the case has zero scratches on it. I wear it almost daily since last fall when I got it.

    July 3, 4, and 5. A little water, a little pool, and a little rain. Rubber and 100 meters should handle it.

    Commenting, not complaining. I prefer cold to hot.
    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Thanks Richard! We are in 100% agreement there on the real Anonimo...I really miss this "Made in Firenze" brand (the new ownership just isn't doing it for me in design or build). Sure wish the brand was still going, and still based in Florence.
    Cheers,

    Chris
