New movement has a lower jewel count, bigger rotor, but the bridges are not nearly as beautiful. This is, um, sort of strange...

Key Points from the Discussion

The original movement design is preferred by some collectors, who express satisfaction with owning the initial iteration of the Bulgari Octo Finissimo.
Despite potential changes, the original author humorously expresses a preference for the 'deficiency winding system' of the earlier model, implying a sentimental attachment or perhaps a perceived character in the older design.
This thread is discussion-light, as a similar post was created almost simultaneously, leading to the conversation being consolidated elsewhere.
