Maltie's acquisition of the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ceramic ref. 103077 highlights the allure of ultra-thin watchmaking and the unique appeal of ceramic. His post captures the excitement of a new arrival and sparks a practical discussion among collectors about the nuances of owning such a specialized timepiece. This article delves into the community's shared experiences and advice regarding the watch's bracelet and durability.

After trying the Titanium version last year in Cannes I kinda felt I want to own this ultra thin one day. When the ceramic came along I get really interested so today I pulled the trigger, the reference 103077 is on the way as we speak.

Thanks to fellow Puristspro members that own this Darth Vader 😉.

One question though : How does the bracelet sizing works ? Screws, pins ? I couldn’t figure it out from the pictures.

Thanks 🙏

Key Points from the Discussion

The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ceramic bracelet uses pins for sizing, which are notably thin. While it's possible to size it yourself with the right tools, some owners prefer to have Bulgari service centers handle it due to the delicate nature of the pins.
Despite its robust ceramic construction, the ultra-thin design of the Octo Finissimo Ceramic requires careful handling. One owner reported a bracelet pin breaking during normal wear, necessitating a repair.
The watch's extreme thinness is a significant draw, often leaving a lasting impression on those who try it on.

The bracelet has indeed pins, that can be pushed out, as has mentioned already. They are very thin and I did not dare to do it myself and I had Bvlgari do it. But with the right tools, you could do it yourself. Please show us some pictures, when you have the watch. GEO

Great piece, but you do need to be careful cause it’s so thin and made of ceramic. Mine is in the shop now for repair.

Was this caused by normal wear or did some kind of impact caused this ?
