Oh Lordy, I've succumbed again!! The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ceramic

 
 By: ant : May 20th, 2019-10:02
Let us be clear, I promised myself that I would keep to my decision not to buy any more watches. Well at least I had honourable intentions,,,,,,right? When the first Bulgari Octo Finissimo came out I was intrigued, but remembered my resolution. Some month...  

Totally understandable Ant!

You had no chance!! I too probably dropped by at the same Bulgari boutique and tried on a similar watch but I do know how 'strong' your resolve is when it comes to all things beautiful! Well done on this superb buy. A great watch in that price category an... 

Yeah, helpless in the face of irrestistible temptation

Aiyah!! What's going to happen lah? I am truly delighted with it and am selling my Cartier Tank Cintree to celebrate! Kindest regards, Antony

Wait a minute!!

You are sacrificing your Tank Cintree for the Bulgari?? That is one helluva compliment to the Bulgari because the Cartier is a nice looking watch too. Which metal is the Cartier in?

Alamak!! (malaysian expession for utter dismay!!)

You have sold a gem of a watch Ant. Blue Breguet hands and a total classic. Have you sold this watch yet? Please PM me

So I listed the big C

at what I thought was a fair price. In the first morning I received five very serious enquiries. I sort of agreed to sell it to one of them but before it was done another buyer offered about 15% MORE than my asking. Good heavens!! I must have wildly under... 

You should have asked me Ant!

The Tank Cintree is a very desirable watch and I have been studying the model since its first release almost 90 years ago!! No that I am not old

You two are strong of resolve but weak under pressure

Good thing this isn't going to lead to ruin, imprisionment or worse -- just to showing up on time, looking sharp! Cazalea

that is a very cool piece

congrats!

Congrats....

 
 By: Ambiorix : May 20th, 2019-11:27
this is one outstanding piece, and the ceramic makes it even more interesting, surely if one wants to wear it daily!Love it! Grtz,Dom

Thank you,

 
 By: ant : May 20th, 2019-13:18
That was my rationalization anyway!! So a multitude of possibilities ensue.....te-hee )

I was going to say you needed to get rid of your Lange Tourbillon to justify this SECOND new addition (gifting it to me, of course)

 
 By: TheMadDruid : May 20th, 2019-13:47
but I see that rascal Sham may have beaten me to it. Or at least your Cartier.

Huge congrats! As someone who gets really annoyed by scratches, I love the idea of an all-ceramic case.

I'm also a big fan of the simultaneously elegant+futuristic look that this watch pulls off so well. Definitely hope to try one on as soon as I get the chance!

I reccommend it

 
 By: ant : May 20th, 2019-22:45
but I don't know if it will be truly scratch resistant, time will tell. If it's scuff resistant then I will be happy. I agree with you about the design. ATB Antony

The Truth Of The Matter Is...

 
 By: elliot55 : May 20th, 2019-16:57
... There was really no way out. That is a phenomenal piece and you deserve it, Anthony. - Scott

Yeah, no escape.

 
 By: ant : May 20th, 2019-22:47
Heeeeeeelp!! I am glad that you like it. It still has the glow of newness. Kind regards, Antony

It Was a Shock

 
 By: ant : May 20th, 2019-22:53
to put the original Titanium on my wrist, it had so much prescence, so much style, but so slim. The Ceramic has the same but in the opposite direction, almost anti-gravity if you get my confused metaphor. Maybe like a black hole: retaining vast energy. Ki... 

Very stealth and gorgeous

Probably my favorite of the entire line - great choice Ant!

Thank you :))

 
 By: ant : May 21st, 2019-09:39
I am quite delighted with it. I have never owned anything remotely like it before. A refreshing pleasure. I hope that you are keeping well. Kind regards, Antony

Yes, quite different from the elegant Chopards and Bexei's and the like

 
 By: alphabeta81 : May 21st, 2019-19:28
Adds a nice variety to your stellar collection

Well I'd hardly call my modest collection stellar

 
 By: ant : May 22nd, 2019-07:35
It is wonderful to me, but a mere trifle when compared to others I've seen. But isn't that the way of everything? Kindest regards, Antony
