If used properly, the Gefica Safari can be very reliable.
Hi, Janef,
The Gefica is a surprisingly wearable big watch - yes, it is very big, imposing, and you can't be low profile with it on your wrist.
But if you like the look (I do) it is very very cool.
It has been extremely reliable and accurate for me, but you do need to know how to work it, or keep the manual handy, if you need to reset the time and date.
Maintenance of the case is no issue at all if you don't mind the patination; if you do, it comes with a fiberglass brush.
Again, definitely a statement watch, for good or bad.
Cheers,
TM

The dial is slightly different
The new Bulgari version has larger minutes displayed in 10 minute increments with smaller minutes and 5 minute markers concentric and on a track closer to the center of the dial. Whereas the original GG version had alternating 10 minute and slightly small...
Are there differences in the bronze?
Besides the AP Bartorelli and (Bulgari) Genta Gefica were there any other watches that made use of bronze? Are there any differences in the bronze between these two?
I believe the AP Bartorelli is clearcoated, the GG Gefica Safari is not.
which definitely impacts how they patinate. Not sure about the alloys used. Good question! TM
