IMO, those things are such eyesores. No offense to anyone who likes 'em. Different strokes for different folks.Originally Posted by zjpj83
They have their place.
Would I own one as my only / everyday watch? Never.
Luckily I have a few watches and the B&R is a nice change occasionally.

hello blackplatano, the strap is from "juergens hand made" nice strap, but I would not wait any more 2 month for a strap, then it got broken, I waited another two month that I got it fixed, the fixing was really badly done! it is my second strap from him, he made another one for my panerai, nice straps but bad service.Originally Posted by Stephan R.
the buckle is from strapculture.com

Thanks

This is my feeling on them as well. I also have never once seen a B&R "in the wild" which also appeals to me. I definitely would not buy it if I was buying it as my only watch.

Can any of you tell me something about the brand Anonimo? The guy I'm meeting to check out the B&R owns a store that sells jewelry as well as Rolex, Breitling, etc etc and said he has 8 or 9 different styles of Anonimo he'll bring to show me as well that he'll part with for 60% retail NIB. I looked them up but seeing a picture of them on a page designed to sell them doesn't do much for me.

I have a quick watch question so i figured i would ask it hereOriginally Posted by Jferg4350
how much water involved activity can a 100m resistant watch stand?
Quite a bit. You should be able to shower with it without hesitation. Swimming and any water based activities should also be fine. Prolonged submersion if fine as well (the ISO6425 standard requires up to 50 hours in 30m depth). But this does not mean you should be unscrewing the crown while submerged, i.e. changing the time underwater is not good.
If its a chronograph, best to avoid pushing the buttons while submerged unless the case and buttons are designed for underwater use.
The one you need to watch out for is the 30m resistance. These really mean its okay to get wet if you were caught out in the rain.

Yeah gazman is right 100m are fine for everyday stuff but I wouldn't dive with one or plan on doing a lot of water activity with it but with normal use it should be completely fine. The ratings aren't always spot on. I had a watch pressure tested to 400m that was only rated to 200 and it was completely fine afterwards.

Anonimo, or so they claim, picked up the pieces when Panerai in Florence when Panerai made the move to Switzerland. I've seen some of them on display, and can't really say I like it... but you could definitely see some OP influence on their products.
Speaking of OP, I was messing around with my camera phone last night:
HELLO HATORZZ!!!!

yeah acidic I saw one of the Anonimos had Militare on it and looked just like a Panerai. I already have two Panerai and am not looking for a look alike (actually they are for sell but I'm keeping the one that doesn't sell first). I decided against the B&R as well at least for now. I really need to downsize and I am putting a lot of money into opening my office and getting graduated...it'll be my next watch purchase though probably after the Christmas season.
Brianja if you don't mind me asking what type of camera do you use? I know there's many good ones but you seem to know what you are doing with a camera. I lost mine and need a new one as I feel horrible posting iPhone pics of nice watches.

Why would I mind?
I shoot with a Canon 20d (soon to be replaced) and a lot of different lenses. I have spent far more money on quality lenses than on camera bodies.
For the watch shots in particular I used a Canon 100mm f2.8 macro lens.
