Well, here it is!
Thanks to everyone who weighed in on my earlier post. To keep a short story short, my dealer found the Octo Finissimo automatic on bracelet for me quickly (it seems usually it's a 4-month wait) - and less than 72 hours after first trying on a Finissimo on strap, there's a new addition to the family...
So far I am struck not only by how comfortable it is, but how understated it is too - really surprisingly subtle and versatile with the matte finish.
I have a feeling this one will be with me for a long time!
Best

It looks really nice, I still haven't seen this watch in the flesh
but I think it is rather large for my 17cm wrist. Gongrats, it loks superb on you. Enjoy this beauty. GEO
Hi Geo, I have to admit that you may be right, I tried the strap version last summer and it was wearing too big on my wrist...
... which I found strange since I can handle the ne SD (43mm) with no problem at all But maybe the the overall package, how thin it is, the strap rather than the bracelet (which I would have preferred to try), didn’t click with my rather small wrist... wo...
Luca, Geo -
It's worth trying on again, in bracelet if you can find it. I've been surprised today, wearing it to work, at how I completely forgot it was there - the thinness and lightness really are incredible. At the end of the first day it doesn't even feel new any...
Big congratulations for this new addition. A timepiece I would like to see in the metal as I’m really intrigued by its grey colour and thinness
Enjoy your honeymoon period together and wear it in the best of your health. Best wishes Alkiro
Do see it in person
It's rather different from the photos. The honeymoon period - I think this is already over. In a good way! It's just natural on my wrist already. Best E.
It is unique
I've not seen anything else with titanium looking quite like this. A bit of a surprise and quite a pleasant one too. It works to mitigate the quite intense lines of the shape - makes it much more wearable as a whole! Best E.
What a great find! Big congratulations.
It is such an iconic piece and wear it in the best of health! ...
Tried it on in person in Japan a few months back
Very very few times do I strap a watch on and go "surreal!" --- this was one of them. Congrats!
Interesting!
Do tell - what was the most surreal element? I am quickly finding that it feels very normal, by the way. Testament to its qualities that this is the case. Best E.
It was so thin yet so complex
The case was not simple - it was quite complex. Yet impossibly thin! And combined with a movement that is so thin that I thought: "how in the world did they do that!"
Great catch Avery handsome watch indeed
And very alluring I must say Congratulations on your new watch may you wear it in the best of health
Thank you, Richard
Will hope to catch up in KL soon and see how it fits your wrist! Best E.
Congrats! Looks great on your wrist.
I saw one the other day at one of the Boutiques in NJ. They didn't have the bracelet version, but on a strap: Once again, enjoy it! Mark ...
Thoroughly modern and yet classic...
I have a feeling the Finissimo will be around for a long time as well in the annals of horology. Congrats!
Congratulations, E!
Hey, long time no chat! I've always liked the Octo Finissimo and this titanium piece has whetted my appetite! In the past, however, the rather meh movement finishing has consistently turned me off. According to your descriptions, this has not changed in t...
