Congratulations. This is encouraging (thank you, TRF!). Recently, I have been considering this watch.
By coincidence, every 5 years or so Bulgari catches my attention. Aesthetically, I think this version is the most successful synthesis yet. Did LV's design house intervene to make it resemble the original Gerald Genta version instead of Bulgari's initial BDSM treatment?
Having taken it to the sea, can you please share how you felt being in the water with it? Recenly, I got a lightweight sports watch (an "Octa" even though the case is round) to replace my trusty sub, but have been told to not swim with it. So it can't be a real replacement for my relatively heavy but very robust sub.
Enjoy your Octo and its interesting lineage.
