and pics Kong. You were able to really capture the thinness quality of the watch. How does the watch feel on the wrist?

BVLGARI 2014 Octo
By: Kong : June 9th, 2014-22:22
The Octo, one of the mainstay of Bulgari watch-lines, has a surprise for many, entering into the arena of the ultra-thin. The Octo is an octagonal watch based on certain geometry with a round bezel and many facets to have interesting light-play when the w...
Thanks Kong for the Bulgari Octo updates

The Octo Finissimo is really very elegant - both the case/dial and the movement. Very impressive and tempting indeed. I like it! cheers robin

can be elegant and also sporty too. Not sure if you like broad strap. Kong
I am ok with broad strap Kong

Will try an octo again soon. The regular one is already very nice to me! Cheers Robin

hear your inputs after you try it, Michael. Thanks for viewing. Kong
Pretty impressive

I like the looks of all three models, and while being thin doesn't look overly dressy. The Solotempo appeals the most to me as the gold and white dial feels warmer. I also like the use of bridges for the balance in the movements. Thanks for sharing this. ...

Hi Richard Well said, '...being thin doesn't look overly dressy'. The Octo Finissimo has certain ruggedness in the case design, it goes well with both formal and casual setting. Would prefer the strap to taper slimmer. Solotempo and Finissimo, more wearab...
Wonderful cases, Kong.

I've come to like these more and more over time. The movement aesthetics of the movements are not my favorite -- in particular, the shapes and finish of the plates on the extra thin seem harsh to me. Perhaps in the metal it is better? Best, CaliforniaJed

it could be the low lighting and this piece is a prototype. But it brings up a point too, as there are two different shades with the four bridges. Wonder if factory does all the four bridges in one go or different batches. Yes, Jed, must see and try in me...
Will check ...

By: Kong : June 19th, 2014-19:19
it feels good, and seat very well even on my thin wrist. Also it does not feel like a wafer. Just have to get use to broad strap, and hopefully the leather strap (especially the beginning part which flows out from the lug-section) is supple, otherwise the...
It is ...
