The vibe is very different...
The vibe of the steel watch is almost Patek Philippe Nautilus mixed with AP Royal Oak in some ways. The titanium model feels so different than the Nautilus and Royal Oak, that you don't necessarily think about those two heavyweights - until you realize they're all related to Gerald Genta.
The steel model is definitely heavier, and it feels more expensive because it's shinier. The Titanium OF doesn't look nor expensive right away - it's very stealthy.
It almost feels like an entirely new watch compared to the titanium version. They definitely feel very different.
Best thing to do is to go and try one on yourself. Being in Asia, it's harder for you to get the salmon dial - but I'm sure if there's a will, there's a way.
I think the Bulgari Salmon dial might be very similar to the Chopard Alpine Eagle XPS with the Monte Rosa dial. Both seem to have a slight pale salmon look, a modern pink salmon look rather than the vintage more orange salmon look. For instance a Patek Philippe 5270P has a more orange salmon look. I'd say the Bulgari and the Chopard both have a pale pink salmon look.
Bulgari Octo Finissimo in Salmon Dial and Steel. Just saw this yesterday on a friend's wrist!
Over the weekend, I happened to meet up with a friend at Bulgari San Francisco and he showed me one of his latest acquisitions! I was surprised how much I liked it! I had seen photos of the watch back in March, but I wasn't moved. But when I saw it in per...
Glad that you had a good time...
...100M is a great selling point for a watch like this.
I wonder whether it looks like the Pisa edition
Copper dial, though different finishing
That was a super cool special edition!
I've still never seen one in the flesh. But what a cool watch indeed! I don't think the two would look very similar. That Pisa edition is out of this world though.
It's a little similar to the Chopard Alpine Eagle XPS with the special Geneva Seal 96 series movement.
I didn't think to snap a photograph. I'm not really much of a shutterbug.
Ti vs SS?
Patrick, I’ve got the same OF in titanium with the older movement - which, yes, isn’t the best when it comes to winding - but throughly love the watch. For me the matte finish to the case, its lightness, the way it takes on the temperature of the wrist, a...
