I like several Bulgari watches. Have never owned one though.

Would like to see the Octo Roma Papillon Tourbillon or Sapphire in person.

Incredibly thin and has 100m WP rating, wears nicely too imho. Very early to read dial. This is the first gen; fell in love the moment it was released.

I like some of the designs but with no AD in the area my exposure is just the internet.

Apologies, my wrist is 7". It does ebb and flow in size by ~0.5" up / down... depending on how well my wife feeds me :)

Though yes, try it on is your best bet.

I love how thin these all look, but when I tried it on the watch just looked weird on my wrist.

That's my fear. From the online pictures, I really love the look of the new(ish) Octo Roma chrono. But I don't have a Bulgari store near me, so I'd have to order it sight unseen -- and I don't think I can bring myself to do that.

If anyone's got a Bulgari chrono, please post pics!!!

If I were you, I definitely wouldn't buy one without trying it on in person first. I think you need a larger wrist for this type of watch to look somewhat normal. It just looked really odd on my just under 7 inch wrist. My wallet jumped right back into my pants pocket.

FYI...I only tried on the non chrono versions like the ones pictured in this thread.

Find a boutique in a city you wanna visit and make a weekend of it. Even if you don’t get the watch, you’ll have had a nice trip.

Yep, don’t plan to. Other than Rolex, I won’t drop that money for an unseen watch.
