The FIRST delivered Bulgari Calibro 303, Porsche Carrera GT and women(part1 of 2)

OK..wow. First off...I am overwhelmed with the actual production piece of the 303. All pics seen so far were the "carmay" blank display. I took delivery on 10th July of my very own 303 at 430pm. Joined a party to celebrate the arrival of the watch in Joho...  

congrats on the new watch

the giant "Bulgari" around the bezel pretty much guarantees I will never be owning one, but I do look forward to seeing one in the metal.

Congrats Bernard and thanks for the elaborate post and big pics...

from the side profile, much efforts have been put in....will check it out. With just 3 hours, the deployant was really dusty. How did you do that? Kong

Dust from Carrera GT man!! nt

While your enthusiasm for a new watch is always intoxicating, I must say this one swooshes over my head at about 300km/h. Certainly not my poison but I am glad it floats your boat. Gaz

Interesting mixture of metaphors there Gaz.

Bulgari are these days doing some cool things, horologically speaking. Admittedly much of it is leveraged off the expertise they acquired when they purchased DR/GG. Still, when an in-house calibre goes into casework manufactured to the exacting standards ... 

It was late...

Great to see Bvlgari excitement

Bernard, Thanks for all of your posts on this watch. My first good watch was a Bvlgari Diagano chronograph that I loved for years and that my eldest son now wears. After discovering the PuristS, trying every favored brand, and becoming an AP collector, my... 

Having had the chance to examine the watch carefully...

I have to agree with Bernard. The dial design does take some getting used to, but the construction of the dial is impressive for a Bvlgari watch. What I found even more notable was the case, the finish of the case and bracelet is excellent; the detailing ... 

Beautiful watch Bernard!

You are at it again, Bernard, crossing the line into the controversial....and fiinding gold! That is one beautiful watch, wear it in good health! There is nothing like family and friends to better enjoy your watch(es). All the best, palmasea

That's quite an endorsement!

I will have to unlock my mind... to Bulgari. I think the Bezel with the name so big... always turned me away... it seemed like a 'nouveau riche' sort of statement... but if you tell me to go see this watch Bernard, I surrender! I will go see this watch wi... 

I agree, Mostel, the 'Bezel...'

 
 By: palmasea : July 12th, 2008-16:47
has always steered me away from buying more Bvlgari's. I owned a two-tone chronograph with a white face, and I can honestly say it was very well made, always super accurate, and nicely designed. Lately, this mixture of grays and steel with slight touches ... 

Nice watch & post!
