Screenshot from shows the old calibre 138 movement with 36 jewels. Screenshot of the new 138 movement with 31 jewels. The bridges arenât separated in the same places and the bevels and movement interior are less visible. Both new movement screenshots tak...
Did you find the finishing on the new movement to be of a lower quality? Visually, it seems less arresting, and the bridges are far less ornate. The old movements were a cut above JLC, in my opinion.
Caveat - it is entirely possible that Tim Mosso's version is a fake. In this day and age, this is nothing short of shocking to me. It would be one thing to roll this movement out in a new watch - however, to put a "new" movement into existing lines withou...
Have taken her swimming to the beach many times, and our pool, plus there's the on/off road bicycling. So far she has been incredibly durable and keeps excellent time. Winding is fine too, stay active my friends. If the new movements turns out to be true,...
but I've watched that review a couple times. The watch is as real looking as it gets. Tim has already commented in the thread with some additional info.
The old movement, the one with more jewels, didn't wind perfectly, as almost all automatic winding micro rotors suffer. It's not a problem unique to Buglari. A lot of micro rotors have winding issues. Thus, some clients would complain the movement would s...
Contrary to your thread where you thank him for initially pointing out the changes, he made no mention whatsoever. Just to clarify. Whether he was aware of the alterations at the time of the review is not known.
The other threads cited they found out through Timâs video and I must have made the incorrect assumption that Tim mentioned it. Oops. Sorry! Thanks for straightening out the record there!
And especially on Watchbox, a platform with the intention of selling a watch, one has to assume they will naturally never be critical of their own product in a video. It's neither the place nor the time, and the questions it raises wouldn't be able to be ...
Iâm guessing he wasnât aware it was new. As for the rest, the issue with this, as has been repeatedly stated by many, is that major changes were made, without mention, without any numerical or alphabetical alterations and that the Bulgari website pictures...
Patek Philippe had made a modification from the 315 to the 324 movements. They were relatively minor. But enough for them to make a new caliber number for it. The two movements look physically the same to my eyes. These Bulgari movements to me looks somew...
In videos, I try to focus on functional changes that alter how the product works or ages during use time. Also, it's not clear to me when this running change was made, and I like to link changes to identifiable model years or production periods. The chang...
I am very happy with the original movement on mine. Beautiful. If Bvlgari made changes to improve the movement it should be transparent. But in my opinion the original is much nicer looking.
Particularly with the larger winding rotor, I get the feeling that some of these changes might be driven by the desire to use the BVL138 as a tractor movement for complications. With the perpetual calendar launched and more complications likely, it is pos...
