Bulgari

Hello All Allow me to share my impression of my newest acquisition , the new Bulgari Octo Roma (2023 release). After considering few watches in the sport integrated bracelet watch, namely Bulgari Octo Roma, Baume Mercier Riviera 39 mm, Cartier Santos Medi...  

But first and for all, congratulations with your fantastic Bulgari. I enjoyed the pictures of your brand new Octo. Your list of choice is totally cool. You had a BM Riviera on your list. I am a huge BM fan, so i considered the Riviera. The cherry on the c... 

However, Riviera is fairly new model that just launched back in 2021. Based on the fact that BM expanding the line to 3 different sizes and even the new diver version, looks like they are confident about the future of Riviera, and i assume it will stay qu... 

That i can conversate about BM with a fellow fan. Good you say that the straps hold on for long. Sure, we watch collectors change from time to time what we wear. Some of my watches are fresh, because i wear not that much. But my favorites gets much wrist ... 

I saw the pictures and looks like it use normal spring bar?

A beautiful watch especially with this lovely blue dial.

But theyy are not available here, and imported from overseas is nightmare with customs and tax; it just not worth it. Not to mention the service and repair problems because there is no GP dealer or service here.

The IWC INgeniuer is really a big MISS! It's way too expensive too! And the movement is really not that nice.

I think IWC screwed up big time. The watch is really just far too thick. And just not a good value overall. It's also too bulky and bold, not elegant, nor refined. And then that price! It's laughable. The watch costs as much as a Chopard Alpine Eagle or a... 

Meanwhile.....this beauty has not lost its charm ...  

....looks very good on your wrist. Will have to take a shot at this when i next hit the shops Thanks for sharing

...  

congrats regarding your new acquisition. I find the Octo Roma a very interesting, more robust alternative to the Octo Finissimo. It looks fantastic on your wrist. I am one of the watch lovers you mentioned who have a problem with white date windows not ma... 

I have ordered a leather strap also. So i will have 3 different looks : sporty with rubber, elegant with leather, and luxury with bracelet.

...  

I agree the Octo Roma is pretty compelling. Compared to other Swiss offerings, it's "good value" and "budget friendly". The shape is pretty uniquely angular and sporty, and the greater thickness than the Finissimo brings out the numerous facets, as well a... 

But when i heard about the new Octo Roma 3 hander, i changed my mind. The black worldtimer is fabulous, but i rarely travel now, and i need some bling from an sporty watch with bracelet Please post some pictures because we don"t see many worldtimer around... 

Here it is: It was running +0-9 s/d out of the box but after a bit of shock it seems to have readjusted to 10-18s ish, not great My watches usually get slower so maybe it'll fix itself soon. ...  

This new released octo roma is stunning i think is the best in its range, massive congrats to you
