BR or Anonimo
« on: November 12, 2013, 07:01:06 AM »
Hi guys....

I thought I'd post this poll to see what most of the members here think of these two pieces.
While looking thru my small collection recently, I noticed that I'm missing an 'all black' piece, so I decided to go window shopping for some possible options. There's no urgency in getting the piece, but like most of us here, I'm always looking for 'excuses' to try on watches!! ;D

Here are the nominees...




Cheers!

I feel that you should compare with watches of the same shape.
That way it would be more of an apple with an apple comparison.
Cos if different shape,we tend to be a bit bias towards one shape over the other ,where you priority now is to get an All black watch.

I vote for BR, but can't technically justify it. I just love the look of BR as compared to Anonimo. Maybe it's because of iconic BR dna case.

Thks for all the responses so far. Looks like most are leaning towards BR for aesthetics reasons. Movement wise, both r using a variation of val 7750 i believe. Hmmm...i guess the only differentiating factor between the two would be the case design...

I reckon Anonimo is extremely cool.  It's what Panerai used to be.

B&R - not my style, but they look beautifully made.

B&R for me. the cut out arabic numbering spoils it for me. Better to take the whole number out instead of 'chopping' it
