Congratulations on a fantastic addition to your collection! I own the chrono gmt in ti and it’s become my daily wearer over my reverso, 3 steel sport Rolexes, tudors and my speedy. My friend has the latest Ando in ceramic, but I much prefer the first version that you’ve gotten. I feel too many armchair critics who’ve only seen pictures are very quick to dismiss the octo. This is a watch that really only is understood upon ownership with a correctly sized bracelet. It’s supple on the wrist, nearly weightless and has both presence and subtlety. I’d say they are under appreciated and undervalued at the moment, but this won’t last. It’s a step towards high horology for those who can get past the noise and hype of the grey market.
Thank you so much and wow what a piece you have too, amazing. Yes I fully agree with everything you said. This watch must be experienced to truly appreciate how amazing it is and yes it is very under appreciated. Thanks for watching at your support.
Quite the design effort here for Bulgari. Packaging the automatic movement with all that power reserve into such a thin stylish case design is quite amazing. The dial reminds me of the old TV Series `Time Tunnel' show. Thanks for the great review.
One of my favorite watches! Really enjoyed this video and the nuanced take on the watch. Like you said, the architectural Octo Finissimo case and Tadao Ando are a perfect match. Would love to acquire this piece some day.
I agree it’s not for everyone. Some find it wierd and I can understand that. I also found that those who don’t like the titanium sometimes like the steel because the dial and case are different colors and suddenly it wears smaller than the single colored watch.
@@themainspringerit's the other way in my opinion, the muted tones of the titanium and matte ceramic versions make it wear smallet than the shiny steel versions.
