I visited the Bulgari boutique in Geneva last month and they told me the strap was specifically made for the chrono and doesn’t fit on previous models
Tried on a few... pt 2
Went to Bulgari again today as they had ordered the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT on rubber for me to look at; the friendly sales associate said there was only one of this reference (103371) available at nothern European boutiques right now, for what it'...
Are the bracelet and the strap interchangeable? It was the case for other models I thought.
If so, maybe you can have best of both worlds. But then which dial?

That's great to hear, sir.
I wish I could find a way to let Bulgari know, he he. Seriously: The boutique I visited could definitely use some more watch targeted traffic. The little buzz there was in the shop was all about jewelry. A sad state of affairs, considering the utter brill...
This Ted Lo
Missing in action for a while. He has good taste. I think he has an Octa too. Somehow he has the eye for the pieces we all like, or eventually will like.
