i have found a 6001 professionale gmt for sale for a "resonable" price..but i am having doubts about getting parts and service in the future.
That's a problem I've been lifting previously: Any part such as dial, hands etc damaged during service or water/humidity intrusion inside the case might be very difficult or impossible to get again from Anonimo Firenze who seems to have disappeared completely.
Last news was that some A.D had mailed them for parts and repair without any reply...
It don't seems like the new Anonimo give a damn about that since the new watches(without any mvt) observed at Basel 2013 was:
(And I quote from a comment fished on the Original A watch-group side on FB)

" The new "A" watches had very much lower quality finish on cases. I suspected right away that they probably are not done in Firenze. The Answers to all questions we got from the rep at their booth were ambiguous at best."

You'll think what ever you want of it and anybody makes it's own opinion from things who are said around but personally, my first reaction about the take-over and migration to Switzerland was that they certainly would exploit the 50% "Swissness" law to have them cases made in Asia.
Some also been claiming that the new Anonimo would still have them cases made in Firenze...
My answer is: How the hell do you explain the poor quality observed by different sources at Basel then?
Is that: Since the boss(F. Massacesi) is gone, people started to drink 96% grappa at the Firenze workshop ?
Or is that : Maybe you been fooled by the new Anonimo claims who try to cover them @sses as much as they can?
I want pictures, I want films: All made in Firenze.
Coz I know how it works in the Swiss watch industry those days.
