For me, I'm not a fan of the Sotrio because it's not my styling
I feel the watch has too many things going on when I look at it. My eyes are moving all around the watch and can't focus on a particular area.
First you have the sunburst dial (is this the correct term?) which makes my eyes focus at the 6 o'clock hour marker. And there's not much to look at at the 6 o'clock marker. So then my eyes move upward to the retrograde date right about 6 o'clock. After that, my eyes then move all around and look at the "X" styled lugs.
If Bulgari is looking to revamp the Sotrio line, my opinion is the design is too complicated. It needs to be more simple and less busy.
Just my 2 cents,
Anthony

I like the design of the lugs, it reminds me
a bit of the lugs on VC's round malte watches, which I like as well. Most lugs on watches are rather standard and conservative, thus going away from the norm can be risky as there are always going to be a group that does not like a different design. I als...
Hi Docsnov
Thank you for your comments. At Baselworld last year, Bulgari introduced a line of Sotirio Bulgari watches equipped with their Calibre 168 in-house movement. Here is the link to the press release: http://news.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-112/pi-3730...
Thank you for the reply
I do not own a Bulgari watch at this time, but I like most of their designs and have them on a list of brands I don't own but would like to. They remind me a bit of Cartier in that they both have been thought of as jewelry makers making fashion watches, b...
movement on Sotirio annual calendar
Hi Docsnov, the movement used for annual calendar is a Vaucher calibre and not ETA movement. Only on the date retrograde the base is an ETA while the module is Bulgari in house.
Now that you mention the Bulgari Sotirio line, I think...
Now that you menion it, I don't think I've seen the Bulgari Sotirio watches with the Caliber 168 at any of the boutiques I've visited. The only one I did see was during a visit about a year ago when I was at the Bulgari Boutique at Crystals Mall City Cent...
