V Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I had the challenge to make two straps for this genuine Anonimo watch that will match the bronze case nicely.. It wasn't easy because of the special colour of it... I do like this watch.. A LOT... and find it very very different. It is like the Titanic DNA watch but not so spooky Here are the straps I made.. The owner will take some photos to see how they look on the watch;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 great work,,,,looks very nice and should compliment the watch well. I'm not too much a fan of anonimo but I do like this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfire Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I like the thread colour of the second strap a lot... Would love to see it mounted on this special watch, V! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a fan in general either.. But this one looks very very nice.. I would prefer a more clean dial without so many logos but Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hmmm, from an aesthetic point of view, I like the first strap V. But to be honest, the messy overadorned dial (euuuw!) and the bronze case (lloks like an Oxyclean Ti mod gone wrong) leave me cold. (if the owner's reading this - sorry!)

It is indeed very strange thread.. It has many different brown colours inside it.. Very thick so difficult to work with it but I think it looks great on black.

I think it is common sense it is too busy with small logos.. But I like the case.. The owner says that it ages very nicely.. it darkens with time.. That would be very interesting to have a case with character me thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be very interesting to have a case with character me thinks Reminds me of one of my old sets of golf clubs - made out of beryllium-copper alloy - had a really nice bronze colour which developed a nice dark patina with use but after a while the finish just ended up flat and dull. No amount of refinishing could bring back the nice lustre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thougth aging like 'getting better' like the wine Ah, but like wine, there's always a threshold - the point at which beyond it's only good for sprinkling on your fish and chips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new & improved osteopath Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I generally like threads where people talk about the things that they like about watches they admire, rather than how much they don't like a watch. FOr many a watch is a very personal thing, so dissing their watch is like insulting their child. -O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
