Bulgari Octo Finissimo Question

Hi friends. Do folks know if the bracket links can be adjusted at home? They seem to be pins instead of screws so I’m wondering if I’ll need to go in to a boutique to have mine adjusted now that the weather has changed. Thanks.

No screws , pins indeed
Screws are easier but if you have some tools you can remove pins too

You need a pin remover, and be careful to not lose the center sleeve. If in doubt am sure the AD will do it.

My AD did it for me last winter.

I also went to the boutique on Bond Street and Harrods during the summer and They did it no questions asked.

Only issue was I struggled with the fit. Need a half-link for winters really.

Good luck even if you visit the boutique. I brought mine in and they made it seem like I had done them a disservice. Said I’d need to leave it for a few days lol

I did it myself but any watchmaker could take care of you in 5 min.

Not to derail this but
1) please share pics. Love seeing this on wrists.

2) saw these on the website, had not seen before. Haute Damn they are amazing. I’m impressed.

^^^^ Wow those are amazing. Bulgari is killing it with this line, I am curious to see if they ever release a Octo diver

How deep SCUBA diving do you go? The Octo S is rated at 100M, which should be plenty for most divers.

I really appreciate this line and indeed it may prove iconic, but it was too flat and large on my wrist.

Zero scuba diving actually, I am just curious to see if they will do a diver with the Octo. More curiosity of ascetic possibilities over water resistance

I've literally tried the Skelton finnisimo in every iteration in the last week here in HK but attaching pics in this forum is such a pain. Would love to share, just need to get the hang of this forum

I just got a Hublot 2 weeks ago, I really shouldn't get another watch for another 6-12 months but they really are gorgeous, not to mention the service in the boutiques are exemplary.

How do you envision a diver being different than the 100-meter WP Octo S?

Agree, the pics function on here isn’t easy for me. I use Tapatalk to upload.

Looking forward to seeing your Hublot! I’m a fan.

Maybe you shouldn’t post pictures of the Bulgar skeleton...already too much enabling around here so don’t make it worse :)

For occasional use, something like this works.

But I really love the 6819. It is expensive, but it makes pin removal quick and easy. I used mine to resize my aquanaut bracelet.
