New release... arghhh
I am a fan. Already own one Octo Finissimo but could easily see myself wearing this new release. Opaline dial, titanium case, textured rubber strap. That movement inside. Superb package in my opinion. Only weakness for me would be the meager 30m WR and I ...
A nice one indeed!
Love how they integrated the strap to the case, will probably get one of those rubber for mine! ...
I've tried on the titanium bracelet version and I didn't find it very comfortable...
I tried on the titanium version for a short time and I didn't find it very comfortable. I suppose a longer test would be necessary to make a real determination since the time I tried it on was very short. I agree, the 40mm version would be nice. But I sti...
Just saw this, it's not very zen...
Unfortunately it says it's all sold out of Tadao Andos! ...
Ando
That is certainly a cool version... hard to come by for the moment however ... but I agree it is very cool!
Interesting
But bracelets can appear differently for different people. My Octo on bracelet is one of the most comfortable I have worn.... but for a sportier purpose I may prefer rubber as it feels like it would tolerate more movement...
Very much smitten
by this one myself, the 30m WR bothering me more than it appears to be bothering you, though. Looking forward to trying this on, an instant hit it seems. Cheers Marc
Diving
I do not necessarily intend to dive with these kind of watches (even though I throughly enjoy scuba activities). But I do want to be able to go into the pool and shower without being stressed about keeping it on the wrist
No quite
30m bothers me quite a bit... on rubber I expect to be able to wear actively without worrying about water... so it is quite a challenge and would be main excuse for me not going for one ...
My point is that this topic has continually been addressed and I simply don’t believe 30m is problematic. The bigger problem you have is with a shower and rapid change in temperature leading to condensation.
I’m going to continue to “call people out” on these water comments as I think we’re just allowing myth to pervade.
Call me out all you want!
My "belief" is different from yours and if I err, I'd like to on the side of caution in this matter. Cheers Marc
Well
For me the watch is part of my lifestyle and I want it to be worn in many types of condition.. this makes wr an important factor
Very cool!
Great job integrating the pushers into the overall design. It was born to be a chronograph.
Before I can decide on which one to get, 3-4 new variations kept coming...
Grand Seiko has so many special releases, US, Japan, limited editions, dials for 4 seasons, each mountains, bamboos, snow flakes, rain drops etc....that I gave up. I fear the Octo is moving in that direction...or forget Omega Speedmaster too.
Perhaps you have a point
But I would still argue the releases are justified so far... but yes would not like to see too many iterations in too short of a time span... however I have been on the lookout for a variety of the chrono since I was not in love with the gray dial... now ...
Good point... There are starting to become too many limited editions, and almost all of them are mere color changes...
Color changes are very lazy limited editions; a blue one is limited, a green one is limited... I do like the Tadao Ando limited edition in titanium, since the titanium would pass for concrete, it's meaningful as a Tadao Ando limited edition since the arch...
How about...
A green ceramic case with a gloss black dial in 40mm time only for ppro then!
The new steel all grey 40mm time only model looks very strong
am wearing the 40mm titanium since last January and it is my most worn watch. Love the bracelet without the clasp and with a blind closure. For me, this is another winner for Bvlgari. For those who want to swim with a watch, why not the Casio G-Shock Squa...
Yes I too love the titanium bracelet on my 40mm!
For the beach I happily go with one of these ... ...
It's my daily watch since May 2020
Soon I'll get a steel black dial. I could not resist
It is indeed difficult to resist...
I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up with a second one too... But first I have to get my first one!
I was thinking I'd try out the first one to make sure I liked it enough to get a second...
I'm on the wait list for my first Octo Finissimo. Just patiently waiting here.
I'm waiting for the Tadao Ando version in titanium.
Been waiting for over a month already...
Love this watch. I just wish it was 100m WR
The Oct Finissimo in titanium feels like pure silk on the wrist. Bulgari was the first watch company to take titanium and make it feel very premium. Many other titanium watches look nice but often times feel unsatisfying when wearing.
Yes agree
It has a great premium feel. Th finishing of the case and bracelet is top class... I am really in awe every time I wear mine !
Dare I say it...
The chrono in titanium at 100m WR would be a great alternative to the Rolex Daytona. Especially with the tackymeter scale and lume like on the Revolution version. Add the black textile strap. Boy, that would be the dream!
