Incoming: Octo Finissimo Tadao Ando Ref. 103534
Missed out on the silver dial and titanium edition when it was released in 2019. I knew I had to have the new 2021 edition when I learned about it. I understand some may dislike the yellow moon (banana), but in my humble opinion the design never meant to place a traditional "functioning" moonphase on the dial. Instead it's a symbol of rebirth and the passing nature of time. Anyways let's move on to some quick pics. Hope you guys enjoy it. Thanks!

Someone already posted wristshot form Cellini, so they are available

The crescent looks so much better in your photos...
than in the press photos. Congratulations! A beautiful watch.
Be careful with the ceramic one! It's a tiny bit fragile! Great at resisting scratches, but it may chip if you whack it into something.
Nice watch. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the moonphase (the watch would look just as awesome without it). But the most important thing is that YOU LIKE THE WATCH. And that's all that matters! And it looks great on your wrist too!
Thanks Patrick!
Yes, the ceramic is fragile. I heard some store cracked the link while sizing a ceramic finissimo and had to send it in for replacement under warranty. I have to agree that watch would look just as good without the moon )
Yikes! Hammering pins and ceramic just doesn't work...
Back in the day, RADO watches were sized this way and they eventually figured out how to design the bracelet so things wouldn't break. Rounded corners, no sharp edges, etc. But Bulgari is very design first, practicality second (the good Italian way). I ne...
