Sick and wrong on many levels...for sure!!! no.gif

With the new Anonimo ownership, (and the fact that they are no longer machining those spectacular Anonimo cases of old in Italy from a single block of the good stuff), I suppose there is a better than good chance that this case and the "new" Anonimo cases are machined by the same entity. Just look at that dial..."Swiss Made". crusty.gif hmmmm... subtlelaugh.gif crap.gif

Invicta is just trying to do what many watch companies do... Make the same watch at a fraction of the price. There does become a point where the idea gets watered down too much and I believe that happens at Armitron.

Again, as it happened before, when a design is given for production in Asia, they slightly modifie it and call it them own...
Then, many sub-models appear on the market.
Conclusion: The new Anonimo went to Hong-Kong to have them new cases producted.
Shame but no surprise there, as they can use the "Swiss-Made" label and it's 60% law to produce cheaper watches in the east.
And there is the proof, the smoking gun, the final nail in the coffin of Anonimo.
Thanks to Invictanus who provided the final clue we was needing.

1. I never been a fan of Invicta, could not care less with what gets released from their rear end.

2. I blame Mr Schwarzenegger for "hyping" the Invicta brand in the first place.

3. The thing above is a great example on why one should by a Swatch, or a why not a Pulsar. You save money and get a real watch.

4. Invicta = (Insert your favorite fart sound here).!.

I suppose one of the biggest questions I have is how they can keep going (Invicta I mean). They seem to reproduce a bazillion styles of watches and so many of us don't really care for either the Company, the watches, or the quality control. How do they manage to stay in business? In my travels, I've only met one other person in my city that wears one. And yes I have one too, only one, with a miyota movement.

I was at Tourneau on 57th in NYC a couple weeks ago and they finally stopped selling them....they used to have a huge display in the lower level.....the sales reps were very happy to see them

I missed this thread. And yeah, those counters are off-center and kinda' strange. Dial is also very busy with so many elements.
