...and thatโs why Iโm wearing mine right now ๐
I do think itโs a future classic - and the effort shown by Bulgari is paying off. The new gold and steel versions will do well and the MR and ridiculously thin new tourbillon are hero models but the titanium original will remain just that, the original and the icon.
I also looked at the โregularโ Octo and the Roma and they are lovely too - much more traditional but thereโs nothing wrong with that, eminently wearable and versatile, and the answer if you want a date window (I donโt like dates, and I prefer sub-seconds to centre seconds hands). How to choose between them? Very difficult! Let us know what you decide.

Today i went to the dentist at midday, then i headed to the Bvlgari boutique place in Galleria Cavour in Bologna. First, let me tell you that Fabrizio is worth a visit; if i weren't a bit knowledegble, i would be more struck by his passion and competency ...

Did you also look at the Finissimo? Best E.

But Finissimo in titanium, with its microrotor movement, should be compared to the iconic watches like RO15202 and PP 5711. Finissimo IMHO is even better than the new VC overseas. Indeed a superb watch. This time I didn't try it because I need models with...

I know you're the Finissimo man ๐๐๐๐ Unfortunately my wallet has shrunk, so octo 38mm is in my wish list. Alone, so far, no other real contenders I'm waiting for you to show us the minute repeater ๐๐๐๐
Ciao amico mio,

Unfortunately I โm not yet a Finissimo man, working on it and maybe found a solution, hopefully I will be able to see it next week in Milan... We share the same problems: thin wrist and even thinner wallet!!! So in any case NO minute repeater for me, but ...

Took a stroll in Bologna last Monday

And was surprised to see them open as most all shops there were closed for the holiday. Didn't go in, but it is a really lovely shop and I was taken aback by the new offerings from Bulgari. Certainly give the competition a run for their money.
