Bulgari

[The Bulgari Octo photographed at the Bulgari Hotel Knightsbridge] When I was given the chance to review the Bulgari Octo, their (relatively) new steel watch and bracelet, there were the usual doubts about the watch. How far is this a fashion item; or how...  

I recently tried on the Black dial Octo in steel bracelet and I really like it. The comfort and looks of the bracelet is really a big plus for me. I also like the black lacquered dial of the Octo a lot. The only thing I'm not so sure about is the 12 and 6... 

although I can see the merits of just a straight dial with markers. Andrew H

I've handled this one quite a few times in the steel now and I really love it! If it wasn't for owning my RO right now, i would opt for this piece. it's got the right price-point to style in my opinion. Quite a winner! Thanks for this great review! S

Thanks for reading Andrew H

finally got the watch after reading through all the review n report about this fabulous watch as the design is really different from other watch design. Was actually thinking of getting the Rolex Datejust II but after thinking of few days decided to favou... 

Heart felt congratulations! The blue dial, certainly in direct light, is a mastery of layering and the iridescence comes from the care and attention to the blued layers. Wear it in the very best of health. Andrew H From: www watchprosite <[Email addres... 

... I would have one on my wrist, I am sure! However, it is very difficult to find it around here in Salzburg. The local Bulgari dealer does not have it in stock, and could not even order it, since he always has to take three, and the demand appears to be...
