Welcoming my Octo Finissimo Back...
Yesterday, I received my fairly new OF back from service. I purchased the OF in mid-September, immediately noticed two issues with the watch - power reserve, and stuttering second hand - and sent it back to Bulgari.
Fortunately, both issues appear to be resolved - it is not dying overnight, and the second hand is smooth. Further, it is now much better regulated - it is +/- 0 seconds over the past 36 hours.
I am still keeping a close eye on this one. But it seems that my issues have been resolved, which I am very happy about.

Welcome back!
My OF, which I enjoy very much, and it replaced my Patek Philippe as my daily watch, does suffer from bad winding. Sometimes I'll have a very active day, walking 20,000 steps in one day, and overnight, the watch will stop. This isn't that uncommon, as my ...
Yeah, the winding is not great. But it did not die last night, which is a win (before, it died midway through the night...).
I'd say the service was OK. There were several delays, and maybe I was wrong to expect this, but I would have appreciated a freebie (maybe a travel case) - given that this happened to a watch that I wore for 2 days. There is no discernible damage to the w...
I see! 2 days!
Yes, this winding issue is not uncommon amongst all micro-rotored movements! If the watch was relatively new, the store should've just provided you with a replacement of a new watch!
Thank you so much!
Yes, this one fortunately fits my wrist extremely well. I appreciate the kind words.
Congat's on getting it back, Did you plan
the alignment of the hour and second hands in the pic?
Nice watch!
Unfortunate you had an issue off the bat. I have had a couple watches come to me with issue. Two were taken back and exchanged. The third was a breitling I got at boutique who refused to take it back or exchange even though it had a mechanical issue upon ...
Yikes!
What a terrible experience with Breitling. When I initially sent it back, I was told a 4-6 week turnaround. It took quite a bit longer, and I started to wish that I had pushed for an exchange. At this point, however, I do not regret my decision. Whoever w...
Glad its fixed now with no problems
Steel looks great. I looked at the titanium recently - very well done Brutalism....but not for me as it looks just like it does in the pictures and nothing more.
Yes, I prefer the steel over the titanium
For me, the titanium version is a beautiful piece of art, but it may be a bit too much for me for daily wear. The 100m WR with the steel, with only slightly more thickness, is easily worth it! Not only is it running with no problems, whoever regulated it ...
Wow, your steel version is fantastic looking
I have an older titanium model that runs very well. But on days when I am not full of activity, I sometimes take the watch off to give it a few extra winds. Wonderfull creation that Octo Finissimo series. GEO
Yes, the winding really is not the greatest. But I can live with it now.
Before, on a normal day, it would die about midnight. Now it makes it through the night, at the very least.
