Octo Finissimo Revolution almost 5 years later
Almost 5 years since I bought the Octo Finissimo! Just picked it up from the bank to enjoy it again. A very distinct DNA.
This iteration has roman numerals with some apertures to reveal part of the movement (similar to the minute repeater one) but is manual wind vs the current automatic version.
I also think that the S versions (100 Mt water resistance) are cheaper now than what I paid back then for this titanium version.
How do you like it? Do you have an Octo Finissimo ? Automatic or Manual ? 
Does anyone has both the titanium and steel to give me an idea of the weight differences?
Thanks
Christian

Here I am
I own both titanium and steel (black dial). Titanium is light, nearly weightless, while the steel is obviously heavier, though it's still a light weight, compared to the list of same style contenders. What reference is yours? At first I thought it was the...
I admited your pics in the other topics :) this is a titanium limited edition
for revolution (the watch magazine not a real revolution 😜) is manual wind. It came out in 2017 with the strap. As soon as bulgari produced the bracelet I did change it and it fits 100%. Good to know that the steel is not too heavy, will need to try it. i...
The sandwich dial looks amazing.
This 'time only' looks absolutely stunning, so you know where the design comes from; Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani.
This is one of my favorite Octo Finissimo versions!
First of all... I hate to admit it... Wei Koh, Editor-in-Chief of Revolution, has great taste. There. I've typed it. I can't take it back. This limited edition is so incredibly well conceived that it's one of the best Octo Finissimo timepieces out there. ...
thank you patrick, wow glad to hear that you like this version
I can also see the benefit of manual wind if the automatic tends not to wind properly. The titanium with bracelet is 66 grams so perhaps the steel will be 100-110. Will need to try it but your input was spot on. Thank you.
One thing to note...
The current steel versions have screw down crowns. The titanium version does not have a screw down crown. So if the watch stops, you simply wind it a bit and set the time. No need to actively unscrew the crown and re-screw the crown. But with the new stee...
If they can get it to wind better, I'd prefer the screw-down crown.
The waterproofness of the screw down crown is attractive to me. But the micro rotor has just got to wind more efficiently first.
A really cool iteration Christian.
I like it a lot and remember when it was launched as I was very much in the market for an Octo in Titanium. I think that little design change of seeing the plate beneath the dial add a very nice visual twist. I find the base Octo in Titanium can be a litt...
