Bulgari

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. I can't believe that we're already in the middle of February. Only another month away is Baselworld 2011, and then shortly thereafter ThePuristS will be celebrating our 10th Anniversary with IGOTT2 at the end of May ...  

I would like to see something in my favorite color, yellow! When do we get sneak peeks at the Basel stuff? -MW

Yellow! But which particular model? I would guess something sportier like the X-Pro. Or how about an Octo Ceramic with yellow carbon dial with a matching rubberized yellow strap? Regards, ED-209

Definitely a sports watch! -MW

isn't that brilliant? cheers, Ed~...  

Would you want one with the clear coat (like the AP RO Bartorelli) or raw bronze like the GG Gefica? Would the bracelet be rubberized with bronze accents? There's so many variations to consider as an idea for the perfect P10 LE. Regards, ED-209

the raw one is masculine while the coated one should be a bit chic cheers, Ed~

i ll be VERY happy to see either version cheers, Ed~

- brushed stainless steel case and bracelet; - without any complication (only hour and minute); - matt dark blue dial; - 12 baton indexes (no numbers at 12). Ciao!

Hi heartbreaker, Welcome to the Bulgari forum. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The Sotirio is great idea since it was launched in 2009 to mark the 125th anniversary of Bulgari. I'm guessing that based on your specs you'd want to see one with the in-hous... 

For me, one of the most important feature of a "Sotirio Bvlgari for PuristSPro" must be the new Manufacture caliber. My proposal regards only the aestethical solutions. In my opinion and for my tastes, the Sotirio has a wonderfully personal and strongly m... 

Interesting idea. What are your thoughts on a dial like the X-Pro where it's multi-layered with a dark blue hue as you suggested along with the hour markers appearing to float on top? Regards, ED-209

We know watches appreciate substantially as result of co-branding and partnerships- think Patek Philippe Tiffany&Co, or Patek Philippe Reversos. As such, we commonly see 2 companies collaborating. What if Purists, as a successful non-profit watch communit... 

Hi Mike, Cool idea. Which Mickey would you envision seeing, the original Mickey Mouse from Steamboat Willie in 1928 or the more modern one like in Fantasia? Would Mickey have some type of theme like racing or just with the 'gleaming' watch? Maybe if there... 

I like the idea of steamboat Willie a lot.I wish they did that earlier. Why don't you start a thread on 'bring back mickey' here and let the purists decide on their vision of a LE fantasy piece. In my opinion, the fantasy is as iconic as the sub and RO an... 

Thanks for the suggestion. Regards, ED-209

but the Fantasia version. That is the Mickey I grew up with, and would be nice to be wearing one as you plan for retirement

That would co-mingle the bloodlines, wouldn't it? Cazalea

Hi cazalea, That is a cool idea too. Are there elements of the Gefica like all the nubs that could be incorporated into the Endurer to make it fit for a safari expedition? Regards, ED-209

non-reflective case, matt dial, etc. (original Gefica) Maybe tomorrow a Photoshop version, eh? Cazalea...

Hi ED209, It'll be nice to have options for the ladies Purists to select I still can't get my mind off b-zero collection! Regards, ATM

Good idea ATM, we can't ignore the ladies out there! Even though there's a trend for ladies to wear larger watches (like Panerai) I wonder which Bulgari model would be best suited for a P10 edition. A stylish Serpenti (I'd vote for a regular one, not the ... 

How about a PVD Diagono X Pro....? Man I'd love to see that one come to life

Great idea. Would be pretty cool to have the X-Pro as the P10 LE watch. Regards, ED-209

I don't know... Can't decide... Let's just get a Bulgari silver ring engraved with "PuristSPro" on it.

Hi Patrick, Even the Bulgari rings have tons of options like stainless steel (a la Anish Kapoor) or the popular ceramic ones. But back to watches... there's gotta be at least one model that stands out that could be a potential candidate for a P10 edition.... 

As a PuristSPro watch, it needs to be something standout and special. I think the Daniel Roth Endurer watch with the blacked out case would be unique. However, after thinking about it some more, I wonder what a Gerald Genta Octa Bi-Retrograde would look l...
