Bulgari

By ordering 100 pieces of a more expensive version, with TOTAL black and white. Size matters when you are an AD waiting for high demand pieces. A great tactical move, that has rendered a great watch looking very different.

The demand for the 303 has created a wait list, and some ADs may not get enough, one ingenious way, when you are a powerful, large group...is to request for 100 limited edition pieces!

Therefore, Sincere watch will have 100 of these beauties...see if you can spot the differences.

The costs of reprinting the dials with white gold accents in a limited series, and recreating the minute and hour totalisers.

New date frame, 100 pieces, solid white gold. The watch has all rose gold elements, including even the hands, removed.

I have worn the current, new 303 for about a month, scratched my bezel..ouch...but otherwise, swimming and bathing, even sauna....extreme heat...water..I have found that the bexzel has many different characteristics depending on how it catches the light.

It is a testimony to the new Peacemark owners clever chess move, and the CEO of Sincere, to immediately order 100 in a limited color.

Case finish, and all details presented to the owner, on direct visuals..dials, hands, case edges, leather, weight..totally meticulous!

_{Bernard how much will this watch cost compared to the regular 303 models?  How do you order one if you are interested? DO u have to contact Sincere directly?  Thanks}

effect business plans, if at all?

Very interesting special edition.

Thanks, Bernard.

I guess that was wise too, even if they did not have any difficulties.

The Starhill's show comes on its heels, just after their planned Nov show. I look at the regional customers as intelligent buyers, and they would wait for a week before buying..only 1 week..and there would be another show..Starhill. So, it made sense to cancel the Sincere show.

It's the huge fall in share rpice in HKK of Peacemark that was of interest..strange.

Bernard,

I like this new Bulgari watch a lot, and the special edition looks stunning. Would love to see one piece in the metal (either regular or limited edition). BUT I am still puzzled by this gigantic BULGARI on the bezel. It is too eye catching, whereas attention should be diverted on that beautiful dial!

the basel.  Any photoshop enthusiast care to lend a helping hand?

Note the first 4 pics..the high polish..and I really mean high reflective polish vs the previous ones from 2007 back..makes the bezel constantly change colors, adapting to the surroundings in "real time"...like an LCD picture display on the cellphone...so that the BULGARI letters are much less prominent.

What is more visible is the deep set dial, and the immediate detailed finish on the face.

All my Bulgari watches I have, I bought without the BULGARI font on bezel, except for this one. I am like you..I could not take the font in the early years.

thanks to you, i have re ignited my interest in bulgari after a decade....i checked out the 303. beautiful but lugs too big for my wrist.
loved the GMT Aria which i have purchased.

You have the forward and backward hour adjustments at instant clicks from the 2 push buttons. The fine dial with a world map. The date is instantly acesses by a single knob..and the entire watch is cased in a solid sealed water tight compartent...with an easily serviced movt.

It will last and be used for a long time.

Hi Bernard,

When u say highly reflective, would it be say akin to the Vianney finishing?

I've not seen the 303 but certainly would be dying to see how it looks in the flesh

watch is eye catching but the lugs are large for someone with a smaller wrist. also it is one THICK watch.

tried one on today

other new models are interesting.

Bernard, which other model did you like?

hi. is it easier to wear this watch? Are the lugs less jutting given the leather strap.
may i ask how it compares in looks when u actually look at it. the normal 303 is quite striking.
is the Sincere model less so?

thanks

I know for sure, since I was in Rome last year, that the 303 standard version went thru like over s series of 100 or more renderings on both paper and cad.

The choices for the colors of gold, even the shade and depth of dial cut, how thick the relative dial parts to each other, were discussed ad nauseum.

Remember that I am not a press visitor, neither a customer, but as a confidential friend of the brand, in that capacity...I saw how much work had been done to preserve, yet evolve 303 as a "bulgari" piece.

Now, to make an alteration to the 303..will take away from that..but it is a clever strategic move to acquire the 100 pieces ahead of everyone.

I guess, I personally would take the genetically purer piece.

Many thanks.

For now, i have the Aria which i really like. i chose it instead of a RVD PVD job - dont know if you have a view on that? I was quite keen on a PVD Daytona.

Glad to know also that production is limited. This is the first Bulgari I bought in ten years and am happy to have it.

Sincerely
