As a long term watch collector, the bvlgari octo finissamo is going to be watch icon. In an industry now which has so many design styles and creations, they have produced a watch in design which has not been done before along with the thinnest watch ever to be produced is truly remarkable. It will sit along side the Cartier Tank, Rolex oyster case, AP royal oak as a distinguished watch icon. I have been wearing Bvlgari B zero rings for many many years now so I have always noticed their watches. The octo and the aluminum range (especially at that price point) have always stood out to me and this finissamo is no exception. So much so that when my AD showed me one of the very first interations in grey dial on bracelet I was truly blown over with the thinnest, I couldn't resist. I am happy to say I have enjoyed mine for many man years now. Congratulations on your purchase, and wear it in good health bro.
Fantastic choice! I bought this one at the beginning of the year. Love the stealth look and the fact it is full ceramic means you will always have a brand new watch! I get a lot of compliments and questions, especially that it’s ultra-thin, it’s a real conversation piece! With the Octo range Bulgari managed to find a solid spot in the high-end range of watchmaking. I bought mine pre-owned which saved me some serious dollars! Brave to buy this one at the boutique, but I think it’s a future classic that will go up in value. The ceramic skeleton is very rare and not easy to find. Although not limited edition, I was told only very small number have been produced. Enjoy wearing this piece of art on your wrist!😎
Thank you Jeremy and good going with your Oct too, it’s light, fun and different! I could’ve saved buying from the secondary market, applying what I said 😂 but no one locally had it and wasn’t really up for international purchase, still soaring from that Vacheron I bought from the US 😂 ❤️ 🙏
@@WatchSociety I wouldn't worry about the price you paid. Your skeleton will trade above retail once the market truely understands how iconic the design and quality of these watches truely are. Whether it's in one year or ten, it will happen!
In fairness to AP, you always hear people saying that they are just the Royal Oak company. However, they had many beautiful pieces in the Jules Audemars collection that no one bought. Heck even the Edward(sp?) Piguet had some cool pieces as well. The (re)issue was awesome too. Just because people only want what they see other people have doesn't mean the maison hasn't offered the pieces.
Bulgari is definitely on the map! They came up with very fine watches and the ceramic skeleton is pretty nice, would be my first choice as well. Great purchase 👌
Congrats my friend! Really nice watch. And i have always loved the octo finissimo. Funny enough i do own the exact gmt chronograph that you returned. It has been my daily driver for a year now and I couldn’t be happier with it. Wear it in good health bro.
The Octofinissimo is the future of watches . It got me the most amount of compliments from girls surprisingly! More than my Royal Oak in yellow gold . They think it's so stylish , unique and bold . Personally , it's my favorite watch among the 5712 and 15202 . So comfortable.
Some kick ass collection you’ve got Aaron, well done 👍🏽 I like the ceramic octo’s stealthy look and overall design, different and unique. You know how I feel about AP so please don’t take me there 😂
I share similar story at purchasing my ceramic skeleton Octo as this watch was not in stock and I almost pulled trigger on the chrono. As soon as I saw a photo of this watch I changed my mind and ordered this watch. Felt was a risky move to pay significantly more for a watch that I haven't seen in the flesh, but your video content conformed I made the right choice. Ps the ad offered a 10% discount.
@@timeisahumanconstruct9251 my ad only offers discount on higher price Bvlgari watches only and have since reduced to 5%. Also there was a big price increase earlier this year
I tried this yesterday, and wow this is my next watch. Btw, I currently own a steel Octo Finissimo (blue dial). The only thing I wish for is micro adjustments on the bracelet...it's either too tight or too loose.
I saw the Octo Finissimo for the first time and fell in love with the design of the watch straight away. Definitely looking at picking up the blue dial GMT Chronograph soon!
This is such a gorgeous watch. I just tried out the titanium skeleton at the bellagio boutique. I am in love and will pull the trigger in january. Great video!
Excellent review. I agree. Bvulgari OF, in all its iterations, is the most innovative watchmaker today. Enjoying your channel. Your sincere reviews are a breath of fresh air. Cheers
Congrats My Friend My option was the skeleton power reserve Ti / Black Croco Strap and looks amazing... For sure Finissimo a new icon in the watch industry no doubt! Saludos desde México
Love your channel and always good content. Great looking watch. I bought my first timepiece last week from a boutique and lost money straight away. Omega seamaster 18ct & ss with rubber strap. But as you say it helps to get future watches and it was a great experience. I'm on the list for a tt rootbeer now.
@@WatchSociety Everything's good my brother. Just enjoying life. Extremely happy to see how popular the channel has become. IMHO, you produce some of the classiest, most well thought-out content on UA-cam. You've got a fan for life here....no doubt
Riyadh, fantastic review! Plus, great outlook on different models and makes of watches! How the future outcome, in terms of reality the market value on watches!
I just bought the rose gold finissimo for 40% off retail from the grey market. I think this watch will be worth a lot more in ten plus years so it was a no brainer, however, I bought it because it is an absolute stunner and is sexy AF! It is on its way to being a true blue chip icon.
Amazing piece and great video. I have never ever seen the Octo Skeleton Ceramic for 50% off though. 20% was most. Would be interested to learn more about where it can be found for such a great discount. Keep going with the great content
It’s very important to buy on boutique because you have the experience and atmosphere of the brand in the shop and a story to tell and remember and not only à package to open in your letter box 📦
True, however, at 50% less one can make the case to save and still enjoy a dream watch! I say this and I have bought at retail for the reasons you mentioned 🙏 😂
That is incredibly thin. Congratulations on your purchase. I am jealous of your excitement. I haven’t felt that for a while. I couldn’t care less about the brand name. You found something that excites you. I used to be embarrassed, but now I bargain with all watch dealers, except for Rolex, which doesn’t interest me. I hope you got a discount.
I totally agree with you with another downturn in the Watch market. The economic climate is going to get worse. I have gone through 2 recessions while being a watch collector and consumers will switch to more lower priced or away from the hype models and brands. Hype prices will tumble, it is only natural that this will happen and consumers will not be paying the hyped prices when their mortgages are doubled or their wages reduced or dont go as far. Dealers, collectors and flippers will always have different views on this. I am a collector, so watches are not an investment, just purchase what you like within your means
As a young man in his 20s and getting a first and only one. Would you recom Rolex Sub or VC Overseas Stainless? To me its hard cause I know the sub is most copied watch with fakes etc and a lot of people owing one. the overseas and vc is not talked about that much. i like the sub for being very durable, at the moment I am looking at the vacheron constantin overseas and for some reason that watch is calling my name. I have a pretty active lifestyle so a durable and versatile watch would be ideal. I like VC cause its not recognized by many people and only a few will know that brand compared to like rolex, ap, patek. I feel like wearing a rolex draws unesscary attention to me since its to most well known / popular luxury brand out there.
I have a real yen for the Octo, but like you I feel the range almost has too much choice. That RM is a clownshow imho. Also you and Watch Gringa agree about the dip in prices, don't fall for the suckers rally, prices will drop further.
god damn I love this watch, gonna get one, I dont buy rolexes, I buy things that are more unique(I will buy Tudor however and have a couple, its the normal price, Rolex is VERY overpriced)
@@ryantannehill2830 went on their website, says manual movement. Theres no rotor under barrel. If it was a micro rotor, they most likely would use platinum for weight and nobility. You would clearly see a rotating mass.thats why the dial has a power reserve.
I recently found out for channel and I liked it. However, waiting 2 weeks for the next video is not acceptable. You do not have to buy new watch just so that you can record something, like London Watch Collector who did not post a video for 5 months. But make some new content out of nothing, talking about watch photos or something.
AP is the most overrated brand. All they have is Genta's 70s design. They have not introduced anything interesting in 60 year. Yeah, that code 11:59 is terrible.

JLC has also made some cool thin watches in their Master series for quite some years now. Would love the Dr. Strange watch ⌚️
Just look at the yellow gold OCTO... A piece of horology and jewelry masterpiece.
you mean the sand blasted rose gold?
