Watches - another OCD problem
-
@Sheepdog149 what kind of watch are you wearing?
maybe I shouldn't be asking since this is the watches thread and not the budget watches thread
or just goggle image search, but this is more fun ??? -
Hi there, it's a "Typhoon," made by Dagaz, Watchmaker. I swapped the bracelet for a thick (5mm) German mesh bracelet. Thanks for asking.

thanks for the reply, will do a search now and see if it is within my budget.
looks terrific

This just came up on FB from the guy I bought my watch strap from (Toshi). I know nothing about it but it looks lovely.

Anonimos watches are quirky, but super cool. I've always been intrigued by the crown placement on the Militare models.
They make several great looking bronze cased watches, too.

I've looked at Anonimo when I was looking at bronze options. They are originally an Italian brand with a long track record of producing watches in Firenze. They seem to have had a similar positioning as Panerai for most of their history. The brand "died" a few years ago and was acquired by a Swiss-based conglomerate. The watches produced in the last few years are "made in Switzerland" and are widely poo-poo'ed by the old enthusiasts.
There was a bronze Militare in blue that popped up for sale on Chrono24 for sub $2k recently. The old Italian productions show up on eBay.

I was unaware of the recent change. That explains why they aren't as offbeat as I remember. Too bad; I always liked the uniqueness of the brand, even though I didn't always like the individual models.
Maybe I'll start trawling the 'bay to see if I can find something fun…

Not sure if direct debit authorization is possible over the pond. But that's always something I offer people who feel uncomfy with a PP payment. Since in case of, I can credit back the amount to my account, within 6 weeks…
But as you said, there will always be a other opportunity...

Dig that top Maratac alot!

Hodinkee have a piece on the Pinion Atom.
It's a good looking watch, and I prefer it to the Axis. It also costs $900, so could be posted to the other thread.
The article is positive, with a certain amount of humour. The commentariat less so.
