Understand completely. I’d be the same in terms of the 41 RO (sold it for that very reason) and any Overseas, neither can hug the wrist.

The Octo does work on my smaller wrist though. The Ti (and its dullness) to me also makes the watch visually smaller (as I’m sure the ceramic does too).

The black satin

 
 By: Jakub M : December 29th, 2020-02:09
I saw plenty of blue dialed satin versions of the new Finissimo here, so thought I would break the trend. I feel like this watch is so worth the pricetag and is punching above its weight class. I guess everyone knows the parameters so I thought I would ch...  

You’re right, we’ve seen several blue but I don’t recall a black dial. It’s very nice, in fact I think I prefer this dial on the watch.

I’m still drawn to the Ti cases/bracelets, the dullness for me makes them a easier wear on a smaller wrist if that makes sense.

Wrist shape

I think it depends a lot on wrist shape as well, I have rather flat wrist and despite it being rather skinny (16.5cm or so) Octo fits well, the lug 2 lug is like modern Submariner, 46mm and there is no limit to first link bending downwards. Both 41mm RO a...

Agreed!

I think the black is more "Octo" as it is still sort of monochromatic look similar to the previous sandblasted ones, the blue feels like answer to current "blue sport watch with integrate bracelet" trends

My thoughts exactly. Enjoy yours

Tried the blue one recently

And it's too shiny for me. Waiting to try this one, which might be my second Octo. I'm not really into all those polished facets, but that's what the market ask for 😅

When you think it is to shiny, try the sandblasted steel or titanium version

The shine is not for everyone and the sandblasted finish is cool and very down to earth. Great series these Octofinissimo's. GEO

Awesome piece, congrats!

I’ve tried the Octo a few times and it doesn’t fit me well, but it looks great here and deserves to be worn often. The satin finish is super nice too. Bravo.

Oh boy... I can't decide... Blue dial or black dial...

Both dials look so good! This brushed and polished version looks great! Such a nice watch! Very very tempted.
