...per MTF and his Bulgari sources, an impressive piece indeed.

The Endurer and Gefica are still cool but.....

Thanks for the photo coverage MTF and to Ping for posting it up. IMO, the Endurer and Gefica are still cool but this piece is really an eye catcher! -MW...
I love the dial...

...but hate the case (at least in pictures). I do want to see it in person, though! Cheers, Daos
Nice presentation by Bulgari!

Thanks, Ping, for pulling this together for us (and thanks to MTF too for all his hard work). This is the piece that really caught my eye: It's elegant, yet playful. I've always liked the ellipsocurvex shape from DR. It's great to see all the novelties fr...
So Bernard do you like the X Pro? :P
By: ED209 : April 7th, 2010-19:49
Besides the solid mass of the X-Pro, what other design features attract you to this particular watch? Would it be even more impressive and massive if it was offered on a solid metal bracelet instead of the rubber strap? Looking forward to when you get you...
Thanks Bernard for the detail

Point #3 is very interesting. I'll have to try it on the next visit to an AD to see if I can 'feel' a Bulgari watch in a blind test. Regards, ED-209
Great post Bernard. This kind of statement...

"this is a watch you could have sex in, there are not many watches that a man will look good in when he is naked! Come to think of it, only women look good naked with watches on. Hmmm...socks too...why do men look strange naked with socks on and women loo...
Thanks MTF and Ping for the Bulgari Novelties and live pics

And great interview with Mr. Trapani. I appreciate his candor regarding the questions about the Bulgari brand and GG/DR. As for the watches, wow. Great to see that the Endurer and Gefica are alive and continuing in the collection. The X-Pro (also mentione...
The X-Pro

...is definitely a monster of a watch, I fell in love immediately when I saw the photos, I have a feeling that I'll love it even more when I see it in the metal. I can definitely see it on my wrist in the near future
Thanks MTF and Ping

Tthe Il Giocatore Veneziano is totally unchanged from pre-restructuring - not much that can be done to change it without losing its character. - SJX
A great interview and great pictures of the GG and DR timepieces...

Thank you for the interview MTF! I've been very curious about why Bulgari decided to enter this market, and your questions were very intuitive and helped me answer my own questions! Thank you for the great photographs and the insightful interview! My inte...

On a very personal note, I am disappointed to see a fashion brand name printed on these dials so excessively... almost taking over the creations of others. I do not question the know-how of Bulgari and I wish them well, but I much prefer that in my wife's...

Hi BCL, Welcome to the Bulgari forum. Thanks for your opinions on the Bulgari collection. I'm just curious, you mentioned that you are disappointed to see a fashion brand name printed on these dials ... and on your wife's Gefica you prefer there is only t...
No problem
By: 11111 : April 12th, 2010-14:57
Hi ED, Thanks for your reply. It does not bother me that the man sold his company, as subsequent collections have remained faithful and recognizable as GG. I believe the recreation of the Gefica is a stunning piece, truthful to the character of the origin...
Wow BCL!
By: pingtsai : April 13th, 2010-09:52
Very cool Gefica on your wife's wrist...seldom see such a masculine looking watch on a woman's wrist. But the look is extremely appealing because of the uniqueness. I'm curious. Does your wife enjoy wearing large watches most of the time? And what is her ...
gefica is nice on a woman's wrist
By: 11111 : April 15th, 2010-14:44
Thank you pingtsai. It does look cool on her wrist. I am not very keen to find out my wife's opinion on Bulgari jewelry.
Nice wrist shot!
By: ED209 : April 13th, 2010-18:30
Thanks BCL. Hope to see some current closeup patina shots of your wife's Gefica. Is this her daily wearer or does she switch off with other watches? Regards, ED-209
Daily wearer
By: 11111 : April 14th, 2010-21:06
Hi Ed, It is her daily wearer, as the rest are just too small. She also likes using my Panerais. I will post pictures. Regards.
