About LinkBacksIs Anonimo under the radar?
If so, them.
While they do have their own forum here, WUS certainly isn't a random sampling of the general public whose awareness of brands would be a good measure of under the radar-ness.

I've always known of brands like Omega, Rolex, Tag and more accesible brands like Seiko, Citizen, Hamilton, Tissot... but thanks to WUS i've found out (and now own) 3 great under the radar watch brands like Ocean7, Bernhardt Watch Co and BaliHa'I Project.
You could say that O7 is not flying so "low" because they have already been exposed on magazines like IW but I could still consider them "under the radar"
As far as Bernhardt I haven't seen them mentioned outside the forums but I've seen that almost everyone that owns one lives by them and would easily recommend them to a potential buyer, great movement, built, and customer service make this a great brand.
And last but not least is the BaliHa'I Project that is big among divers due to their great solid watches which i'm waiting anxiously for mine.. that uses great movement, great built, nice extras (when you buy them) and the best customer service i've experienced (props to Chris, a gentleman to deal with) that you probably wouldn't have on the "big" name brands.
Live life to the fullest.. remember, every second counts!!!!
Current Collection:
Citizen BN0019 Blue Orca | Alpina Sailing Extreme LE | Dievas Oceantimer | Squale 1521 50ATMOS | The BaliHai Project Hai'Q | Seiko SKX171 MKII Mod | Ocean7 G-2 Chrono | Tissot Seastar 660 Chrono | Bernhardt Seashark | Casio G-Shock DW6900

Excellent idea for a topic.
There are, really, so many great little watch companies out there that I have trouble nailing one or two down. But, off the top of my head, DOXA, Ball, Bathys, and Grand Seiko spring immediately to mind.
Watches: Rolex Air King 114200; DOXA 1000T Project Aware (75/92); Hamilton Khaki Automatic; Seiko SKX013K1 Diver's 200M; Shearwater Research Predator; Suunto M5; Tissot PRS200; Generic Swiss Military; Jorg Gray 6500 "Obama Watch"
"Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons."
-Douglas Adams

For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did, and I get the sweats. I go in and start working. I'm not sure where I'm going - if I knew where I was going, I wouldn't do it. Frank Gehry
Prior to membership on WUS I never heard of Anonimo, Technos or Yema now I own one of each...
