Geo shares his long-term review of the Bvlgari Octo Finissimo, detailing its wearability, unique design, and manufacture caliber. Discover why this ultra-thin watch challenges perceptions.

Geo shares his initial impressions and evolving relationship with the Bvlgari Octo Finissimo after four weeks of wear, challenging his preconceived notions about its size. His detailed observations highlight the watch's balanced design, ultra-thin profile, and unique material, offering valuable insights for collectors considering this distinctive timepiece.

Sharing a few more pics of my 'Bvlgari Octo Finissimo', especially because I always

believed that the watch was too large for me.

And in fact I now find it hard to take off; love the material, the manufacture caliber, the ultra thin case, the plain dial without

a date window or the word AUTOMATIC and.......no pushers to open the bracelet.

Everything is so well balanced.

Key Points from the Discussion

The Octo Finissimo often appears large off the wrist, but its reasonable lug-to-lug distance and extreme thinness make it wear comfortably and proportionally on the wrist.
While titanium is generally perceived as more prone to scratching than steel, the Octo Finissimo's titanium case and bracelet have shown surprising durability in daily wear.
The experience of purchasing from a brand boutique or authorized dealer offers significant advantages, including access to premieres, special events, and a direct relationship with the manufacturer, which can outweigh the potential savings from other sources.
Trying on the Octo Finissimo in a boutique is crucial, as the on-wrist experience can significantly alter initial perceptions based on size and feel.
Bvlgari has introduced an all-steel version of the Octo Finissimo with a semi-polished bracelet and black dial, offering an alternative for those concerned about titanium's scratch resistance or preferring steel.

Nice Bvlgari Geo. Today i searched where i can buy a Bvlgari. But, i have also other Bvlgari watches on the menu, so i have some space to chose. The boutique or an authorized dealer is important, because it have pro’s i’ve experienced. Two times a watch trader was also a good experience. But at the watch traders i had a lucky shot, and it is not always a secure thing, so the extra money is it worth to stand more directly to the manufacturer and build up a strong band. Get first premieres , invit

I had a chance to try the watch in the BTQ and see how it looks and feels on the wrist. Before that I never looked at them. GEO

I was in the one in Dubai and the experience there was very good, as in most brand Boutiques. As you said, you pay a bit more, but get a lot in return. GEO

and wears it almost as his daily watch. I have handled his watch and it still looks almost new. No idea actually if titanium scratches more easy than steel, if that's the case you should have a look at the just announced all steel version with semi polished bracelet and black dial. GEO
