Nautilus an Royal Oak ... watch out

Oct 23, 2020,02:05 AM
 

Since I saw the first Octo Finissimo I loved the watch, only one thing that did not convince me was the titanium case and the fact that case, dial and bracelet all had the same colour. Now, when Bvlgari released the steal finissimo with blue dial I couldn't resist. 

So well made, already an iconic watch and that ultra thin movement really rocks.
I have worn quite a few Nautilus and Royal Oak (and the offshores). I will NOT say the Bvlgari is better ............... But I can't say it's less. Imo they do belong in the same category with one big exception... you don't have to beg your AD to get one. Maybe that will change one day.
As for the price ? It's a bargain compared to Mr and Misses Nautilus-Royal Oak. 
Now putting it on the wrist .. it is simply better. Never had a more comfortable watch.

Tried the first titanium and steel versions recently and was really impressed. But in combination with this blue dial the watch is a stunner! Have to call my AD to get a chance putting it on my wrist. One of the most iconic Genta Designs in my opinion. I'... 

A fantastic new watch

Superb. Why? I participate for a Bulgari Octo. The titanium finissimo i like, i have no problem it have a one tone presence. But your steel with blue dial is also ultra sonic. The chronograph model, that is a master peace. The rotor technology is unique a... 

Great watch And I would agree - why go chasing a nautilus or ap when

You can buy for less than 1/2 of secondary market prices J

Agree

But when Bvlgari watches discovered by the mass? Stars who go to wear Bvlgari watches? On the other hand, Bvlgari made specific kind of watches for enthusiasts, so no need to be afraid. This thing had also happen to JLC, my words. Talking about JLC, it is... 

Agreed

A great addition to the Bulgari line-up, and a wonderful shade of blue.

Blue dials are often too bright or too dull, but here Bulgari offers a very nice shade of blue, neither too bright nor too dull, that works very will in the Octo design....subtle yet eye-catching at the same time. Cheers, John

And for the perfect fit and comfort in the wrist... look at that part of the bracelet

A butterfly deployant is nice but can be annoying on the wrist Well look what they did. Make the 3 end links on each side of the bracelet hollow so the deployant disappears in the bracelet So simple but so perfect ...  

very ingenious! [nt]

I finally got to see a substantial number of watches in this line earlier this week.

Bvlgari has done a good thing here. They are dramatic and stand out. And while I appreciate their plays with titanium and the impressively thin movements, I like my watches to have heft so prefer the versions in steel. Very impressive watches, though.

congrats. Beautiful piece [nt]

The blue really sets it off!

Bruno, coming from you--

 
 By: Mostel : October 25th, 2020-14:56
quite an endorsement. I would agree with all you said, except --as a hardcore collector--you know they are not in the same league--because the League is the Unobtainable. Now with that said, I love this watch and really, all the versions of it. But until ... 

Huge congrats on this piece

I love the Octo Finissimo line and have the titanium myself and to be honest, I never understood the run after the Royal Oak and Nautilus. From a design point of view and the way the bracelet is made and constructed, the Octo wins IMHO. But it is widely a... 

This thing is so perfect

...I constantly have to remind myself I have too many watches in order to avoid jumping in my car and get one too. Getting harder by the day, though. Enjoy it, Bruno, it’s a seriously cool piece! Daniel
