Jeff...big congrats on your new arrival!!!!party.gif

I really like the classic design of many of the Anonimo models, and the Millemetri model is a fantastic, classic designed piece IMO...there is definitely an Anonimo of some kind in my future.

I have stopped myself from pulling the trigger on one at least 3 times in the last few months.

Would be interested in hearing your comments regarding the overall build on these Anonimo's since I know you have some absolutely great pieces in your collection.

Enjoy this one!!!woohoo.gif

 


Thanks heaps, Chrishand6.gif.  The Anonimo is not my new arrival. It's about 3 years old. I think my post the other day may have thrown you guys offsubtlelaugh.gif. That new arrival is all black and is an "ugly" creation for the murky depthsanodie.gif. I'll post it really soon.

Finish on this Anonimo is great. It's in a satin stainless steel and at certain angles looks like platinum. Like all Anonimos, it is well-built and somehow differentiates itself from the other Italian powerhouse brand via the classic, though more trendy touches like the HEV which is an active protrusion from the case and the fact that the HEV is on the same side as the crown. Others would have placed the HEV on the opposite side or would have made it passive as an integrated "dimple" on the case.

Time-keeping is great too and although I haven't really timed it on long periods versus an accurate base, it keeps pace well with the others in my collection. I certainly would recommend you put this on the radar (Millemetri, for sure) as an entry into the Anonimo line.

Thanks for your kind words againthankyou.gif
