Bulgari

Almost 5 years since I bought the Octo Finissimo! Just picked it up from the bank to enjoy it again. A very distinct DNA. This iteration has roman numerals with some apertures to reveal part of the movement (similar to the minute repeater one) but is manu...  

I own both titanium and steel (black dial). Titanium is light, nearly weightless, while the steel is obviously heavier, though it's still a light weight, compared to the list of same style contenders. What reference is yours? At first I thought it was the... 

for revolution (the watch magazine not a real revolution 😜) is manual wind. It came out in 2017 with the strap. As soon as bulgari produced the bracelet I did change it and it fits 100%. Good to know that the steel is not too heavy, will need to try it. i...

The waterproofness of the screw down crown is attractive to me. But the micro rotor has just got to wind more efficiently first.

I like it a lot and remember when it was launched as I was very much in the market for an Octo in Titanium. I think that little design change of seeing the plate beneath the dial add a very nice visual twist. I find the base Octo in Titanium can be a litt...
