IMHO I daresay it holds its own against the AP 15305/15407 with its unique thinness and well thought out architecture, but it doesn't come with baggage of AD games and heavy overpricing on the secondary market

Octo Finissimo...something about this timepiece that makes it totally different from the rest I've seen till now !

Panerai have been my only Big, Bold timepiece that I know which most of us love...given the military aura and simplicity, it deserves the love in deed. Bvlgari Octo Finissimo is as Big & Bold but refined in design inspired by the Basilica of Maxentius arc...

Killer watches

I also think that, as great as the complications are, this watch still looks its best in the original matte time-only version!

I agree, the original matt finish monochromatic version is the one that I like too

what impressed me is complication without affecting the design idea of the timepiece...example Perpetual calendar with retrograde date but keeping the timepiece still thin !

Agreed!

I love the Finissimo's

In any metal or alloy they are manufactured. I wish even the steel versions were matte finished. I'm not asking the expensive sand blasted and rhodium plated finishing of the steel early models, just a basic brushed. That would be perfect. The shape speak... 

A long waited Bulgari event

Thank you very much Mahesh for the time you took to let us meet the Bulgari watches. As i skip the P brand, cause of an own reason, Bulgari gets my full credits. Maybe it’s Rome heritage and why i like the innovative way into an ancient old forum design. ... 

oh yes...impressive the way it is done & the build quality is exceptional.

but it is not everyones' style I suppose.

I am in love with the ceramic version

I tried one on in the beautiful Bulgari boutique in Rome and I was stunned. The alluminum version is amazing because of the lightness and thinness, but my favorite has to be the ceramic.

I heard about to too Andrea…

Unfortunately it wasn’t available for me to try or photograph!

They are all very impressive.

For this watch I prefer a clean dial look. Therefore the "simple" time only but also the tourbillon are my favorites. Best, Gerard

Completely with you on this.

I find the basic titanium model to be the most attractive, followed by the new skeleton in titanium. The LEs which have been done on the basic titanium are also very appealing. My favourite being this one, the design for which is from our forum member Mo ...  

ah the chronopassion LE...I like the idea but personally I wouldn't wear it though...

 
 By: mahesh : October 8th, 2023-19:50
there is a 15 pcs LE for an Italian retailer, Pisa Orologeria...I just love that one ! ...  

Those guys in Pisa, always get the good stuff.

That looks pretty cool.

I can completely understand each points you’ve highlighted

 
 By: mahesh : October 11th, 2023-19:41
and I do agree on your conclusion.
