chrgod Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Seems like there finally is a decent Anonimo replica out. Silix has just posted it in his section and on the webpage. Stylish watch, simple design.. Finally a new non-chrono rep which I like, nice 42mm size. The dial looks a bit like a Railmaster, while the hands reminds me of my Steelfish.. The original is based on the ETA-2824, while the replica has "Asian 2892". Good finish on the movement, and metal spacer.. Position of the date window looks a bit off, and the date font is the typical Asian one. Guess there will be an ETA or ETA-clone version of this soon. It looks like the orange version should have black hands, but that might just be the lightning. Note that on the pictures of the genuines, the second hand is different on the orange and the black versions. The replica uses the shorter seconds hand from the black version. These "Panerai spinoffs" have a great number of special editions, just like Panerai. They have some cool watches in their collection. Genuine. Replica Replica movement. ST-18 Genuine caseback. Replica caseback Genuine, on bracelet. Black replica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskent69 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Looks pretty good. The black one is pretty appealing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Been waiting FOREVER for an anonimo rep... but my question is now... Will there be a TB Buti rep or a Dino Zei rep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Interesting! The ST-18 movement choice makes shoe-ing in a 2824 ETA a doddle.....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfire Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Interesting! The ST-18 movement choice makes shoe-ing in a 2824 ETA a doddle.....! Sharp eyes on the movt... I heard that for this watch, Jay actually bought a gen (not sure if it's the black or orange one, @chrgod) for its commissioning. Looks pretty good except the date font (and sec hand, whichever way you look at it). Jay said that given a choice, he'd used the 2824, but as everyone knows, stocks are scarce... Btw, does anyone think the lume markers look a tad too green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK08 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 From the pics it sure does, but still a sharp looking watch, especially the orange dial version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Black one is nice... I wonder what the second crown is for... maybe a HEV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMK000 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Not on my wish list , neither rep or gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Nice what is the normal cost of the gen, nice choise of movement, i have an ST18 in one of my ATs and it runs great, and even if you had a problem you can replace it for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Interesting, I never liked the designs on these enough to buy the gens, but a much less expensive replica could be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROGMAN Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I'm interested in the orange version...Since I first saw it in my watch magazine the orange face rep has haunted my dreams...I love the brown strap that the gen usually sports. Nice timepieces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 if he gets the original how can't he duplicate the date font? Should he used SW200 26jewel movement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Nice rep...Wonder if there are any Anonimo Militaire reps up the line...I think I would maybe go for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Wow Admin talking about watches, now thats quite rare, i dont suppose you get that much time after keeping this place running though. Just been having a look at the gens and i quite like them, the Day Date with teh glod bezel struck me the most. next were the militare withthe crowns at 6, correct me if i ma worng but most of these are 42mm ish and smaller than most pams?

Watches are the reason I started the first forum and is the reason I am still around (and have 40-50 watches ) Unfortunately, running this forum, combined with my real job, sometimes take up most of the hours every day so I don't get to post as much as I would like to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 They're not really in my taste - almost like imitation Panerai, but I would like to see the rep manufacturers come out with a Blancpain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new & improved osteopath Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a good Militaire rep- the crown locking mechanism on that is very complicated, and the rep would be, by neccessity, disappointing. LIke this rep though- got to be an eta version not far behind. -O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This movement retail in UK cost more than a 2824. Have a look ST18 and now a look here for a 2824 and now compare the ST18 details with its twin the 2892.
