Hi Richard
Well said, '...being thin doesn't look overly dressy'. The Octo Finissimo has certain ruggedness in the case design, it goes well with both formal and casual setting.
Would prefer the strap to taper slimmer.
Solotempo and Finissimo, more wearable size to me, as my wrist is small. Velocissimo is a bit big and the 'muscular part' of the leather strap from the lug-sections is too stiff, does not really help to sit the watch well.
Try it when the commercial pieces reach the boutiques.
Thanks for viewing.

BVLGARI 2014 Octo
The Octo, one of the mainstay of Bulgari watch-lines, has a surprise for many, entering into the arena of the ultra-thin. The Octo is an octagonal watch based on certain geometry with a round bezel and many facets to have interesting light-play when the w...
Thanks Kong for the Bulgari Octo updates
The Octo Finissimo is really very elegant - both the case/dial and the movement. Very impressive and tempting indeed. I like it! cheers robin
Octo Finissimo...
can be elegant and also sporty too. Not sure if you like broad strap. Kong
I am ok with broad strap Kong
Will try an octo again soon. The regular one is already very nice to me! Cheers Robin
Would love to ...
hear your inputs after you try it, Michael. Thanks for viewing. Kong
I'll follow up after I get one on
Not sure when that will be but I will post on it :-)
Pretty impressive
I like the looks of all three models, and while being thin doesn't look overly dressy. The Solotempo appeals the most to me as the gold and white dial feels warmer. I also like the use of bridges for the balance in the movements. Thanks for sharing this. ...

Wonderful cases, Kong.
I've come to like these more and more over time. The movement aesthetics of the movements are not my favorite -- in particular, the shapes and finish of the plates on the extra thin seem harsh to me. Perhaps in the metal it is better? Best, CaliforniaJed
Likely ...
it could be the low lighting and this piece is a prototype. But it brings up a point too, as there are two different shades with the four bridges. Wonder if factory does all the four bridges in one go or different batches. Yes, Jed, must see and try in me...
Thanks for this review whch is excellent. Will the
Octo Finissimo be available in SS?
About ...
list price for this region (not sure if they are the same in other regions) is about USD27,000. Kong
Thanks for the great writeup
and pics Kong. You were able to really capture the thinness quality of the watch. How does the watch feel on the wrist?
On my wrist ...
it feels good, and seat very well even on my thin wrist. Also it does not feel like a wafer. Just have to get use to broad strap, and hopefully the leather strap (especially the beginning part which flows out from the lug-section) is supple, otherwise the...
will find an opportunity to try it on my wrist :-)
... was good of catching up at the recent dinner event. hope to see you again soon. stefan
Thanks a lot Kong for the report!
The thin and slender style is very faithful to the Genta spirit. Fx
