Anyone received yet the 100m resistance SS octo finissimo

I have seen only reviews and 1 video from T&T. I wonder how it looks, feels and sits on the wrist. Some AD may have been shipping or opened around the world. Thanks.

I’m excited to hear more about this watch too. One of the most interesting modern sports watch designs IMO.

Would love to see this in person too. With the pandemic it slows down everything and can't travel as much as we used to

I tried a bunch of the octo finissimo range at the Bulgari boutique in NYC just before the lockdowns started. Super friendly staff let me try on the whole range including the carbon minute repeater version. Definitely will head back there when things get back to normal and check out the new brushed steel version. 100m WR is a great bonus too.

I heard the steel case and bezel is a single piece, that is, made with a single block. Amazing though. Can’t wait to see one. Are the non-complication Octo finissimo selling at some discount from AD? How about this forthcoming SS piece. I am asking because I am new to the brand and this model line. Thanks much.

The Patek Aquanaut is a 2 part case. The bezel is part of the middle case.

My AD in France called me that both black and blue dial steel Octo Finissimo are now available. Unfortunately, I cannot travel like many of us. Anyone has any of this?

Check out IG page samswatchjourney. It’s not my IG but the guy has the new steel Octo.

Just picked it up today. Photos can't do the finishing justice. The brushing lives up to the "Finissimo" (superfine) name, and the polished facets catch crazy light. It's a home run for Bulgari.

It is very nice. Thanks for sharing. How are you getting use to the unique frame size?

No adjustment to the case shape or size has been needed. It's the most comfortable watch on a bracelet I've owned, I think owing to the narrow links and the light weight of the case/movement. It definitely has more heft than the titanium OF, but the sensation against the skin is preferable since the edges aren't as sharp due to the polishing of adjacent surfaces.

Thanks again and that is good to know. Can’t wait to try both of the new steel versions. Enjoy the piece.
