I wouldn't worry too much about getting parts and service in the future (unless your concern is regarding Anonimo specific parts like the crown, hands, etc). The 6001 runs on the ETA 2893-2, so you should be able to get the movement worked on by any reputable watchmaker that services these kinds of movements.


Ah...got it.  And as Will is already saying, you've got a valid concern there....just no way around it IMO. 

To me, it seems like the brand has been completely up-ended, and I would not have any confidence in getting service or needed parts from the New Anonimo Brand in the future, especially for models like the Professionale that have been dropped altogether.  I have a Dino Zei Glauco model that I really like, but I'm assuming that I will now have no ability to get Dino Zei line parts (if ever needed down the road) as those designs are not represented at all in the "New" brand.

I totally dig the Professionale too!  It continues to be one of my absolute favorite case designs ever done, and I find it to be extremely unique.  I've always planned on adding one at some point, and I still may....even with the thought that I won't be able to get parts...how's that for crazy!crazy.gif
