All about the Bulgari Octo Finissimo’s fit and feel, how does the watch actually wear?

I’ve missed you my friend!! Love you all out there at TimeandTide!!!!

Time only for me. There's a Bulgari AD not too far from me. I should (or maybe I shouldn't) go try this on one day.

I need to watch your older videos on this watch. I’m not sure - is it time to take Bulgari seriously as a watchmaker? It’s a really beautiful watch (especially the time only) - but it’s a Bulgari. At that price you’re in the range of some of the old standbys. Just can’t seem to stop thinking of Bulgari as a “fashion” watch - kind of like an Ebel from back in the ‘80s.

Amazing watches, thanks Andrew. 👍⌚

Sorry but it’s hideous

Time only blue dial for me! Thx T&T keep 'em coming

Great video, very engaging and well presented

Beautiful watch Andrew but I absolutely cannot pull this off; it looks like I'm trying to cosplay as an Amazon.

Why choose, both amazing! Especially for me and a physical match large and in charge if only had to have one.

A shame you didn’t also compare the various materials. The original titanium is even thinner and lighter and, in the case of the chrono, smaller in diameter. The steel variants are very shiny and an easier transition from a typical steel sports watch, however in titanium or carbon the weight, or lack thereof, is just as surprising as the thinness and broadness.

I used to be a bit of an Octo Finissimo fanboy. Until I saw one in an ADs window. Despite knowing the basic specs…40mm diameter, 48mm lug to lug etc…it still looked huge! And with the blue sunburst dial of the variant I was looking at, rather gaudy too. I reckon it might have to do with the square shape. Square/rectangular watches always wear quite a bit larger than their round counterparts, and the Octo in particular, has a lot of extra metal around its dial. So, unfortunately I don’t fancy owning one anymore. But if I had to, I’d go with the slightly more subdued grainy black dialed variant.

Usually I'm not a fan of thin watches, but this really is thin done right. Killer watch and a nice video

Is it just me or is the 9o'clock marker misaligned on the time only?

Gorgeous watch

Like a square dinner plate on the wrist

Index at 9 is bad on the time only

Fantastic video. I've been in love with the GMT but the size has been questionable.

Bvlgari becomes a new representative of the thin watch!!!

The Octo is a fantastic watch! Over the last few years Bulgari proved itself as a true high end watch manufcaturer winning many innovative prices! Bought my Octo Skeleton full ceramic in April of this year and never looked back! Amazing art on your wrist and I often get compliments or questions about. I like my version of the Octo better than the steel versions, as mine is more stealth and less in your face, yet still the obvious Italian genta design style embedded in it! I tried the steel GMT version in the boutique but because of the white metal, it really looks bigger than a 40mm watch. Recommend for the average wrist to go with a black or dark grey color version of the Octo. Thanks for the great video!👍

These are waaaaay too expensive for what you get.

how much?

The steel Chrono is actually bigger than the titanium and ceramic versions which is listed at 42mm. I've got large wrists and the titanium is perfect for me but the steel was just too big

Why is there durt and dust on the hands and dial? This isn't the first review I see with such problems on bvlgari watches ...

They should make a smaller/36mm version of this watch.

So thin yet so clunky.

This watch is so elegant it's surprising, I never took a proper look at it, but watching it closely, even on video, it really struck me as elegant and as classy as it gets

I've heard people say that the sharp angles on this watch's lugs cut into the wrist.

I‘m a great fan of Bulgari watches , owning booth shown in the video plus a Octo Solotempo 41S and Ergon 41S I can say that these watches are one of the most underrated in the market. Built quality , finish , technology and of course the service are exceptional ! For me these are the most innovating watches today .

One measurememt which hasn't been mentioned is the diagonal distance, which is huge due to its square shape.

Too large no one can pull this watch off, weirdly shaped but has potential, maybe a 38mm case?

make a 36mm and I am in

I accidentally got to try on a titanium skeleton and they are stunning. Disappears on the wrist and the design is even better in real life. The fine angles and lines are sublime in such a thin watch.
