Thanks
Thanks for the reply. I'm kicking myself for not having taken a video before sending it off.
The rotor is otherwise silent during normal operation, apart from the satisfying zippy sound it makes when rotating. No other unusual sounds like I've observed on an ETA 2824 that I didn't service as recommended. :P
The bracelet doesn't sit flat even when not wearing the watch. It does still feel solid and secure, but it's like someone had been very rough or careless when operating the clasp previously, maybe not understanding that it was secured by friction.
Feedback on some issues with my Octo Finissimo (102713)
Hey all, Unfortunately I don't have any beautiful photos to share because my watch is currently being inspected by Bulgari under warranty in relation to the following issues: Seconds hand oscillating as it passes 8:00-12:00 on the dial: in other words, th...
Nope
I certainly do not have these issues. Unfortunately, my watch is at my other home in another country presently so I can't check the bracelet but certainly no issues with the second hand and no rattles whatsoever. And I would have noticed If the clasp were...
I see this is your first post! Welcome!
I'm normally very wary of first time posters posting a complaint. As many are just trying to vent their frustration and have no real contribution to our group. And many of these first-time posters eventually disappear as they were never looking to contrib...

No problems at all so far, bracelet works great.
A great pity that you complain without showing us a picture. Hope it will be solved. George
Issues
1) I saw the second hand stuttering on a video but never noticed in real life on mine: youtu.be Is this what you are referring to? 2) I did not notice that on mine 3) My clasp has some play to sides (caused by the architecture of it I assume) but the ...
I saw this video and was really concerned about the movement finishing.
The movement looked terrible in this video. But when I saw a watch in person at a Bulgari store, the watch wasn’t nearly this bad. Not even under 10x magnification.
Magnification
The macro is so insane in those videos that even Lange looked at some parts not that well finished, the hand jitter does not bother me either...
Even if it's minor, are you able to spot the flicker at that timestamp?
I think my example is worse, but I find it surprising that either of these make it past a final inspection for a watch of this price.
Yes, I do see it, it even seems for a moment the second hand goes backwards half a second...
That's just the camera. If you look at certain watches that run at 21.6K vph with a large second hand, with a video recording camera (or sometimes the naked eye), you'll see that as well. Not terribly unusual. Lange for instance, has a special anti-vibrat...
Seconds hand "stutter" can be the result of misadjusted "end shake."
My understanding is that "end shake" is the degree of freedom pinions have to move: too little, they can't turn; too much, they may turn erratically. I have taken a watch like that to a watchmaker and he has been able to correct it without difficulty. No ...
