Was a big fan of my first Octo which was a sandblasted steel, but really wanted it to have the added WR so I could wear it wherever over the summer and to the pool without much concern. Consequently i traded it in for the blue dial, and I’m very happy with deep blue color. Satin is much flashier than sandblast, but I am really enjoying it!

Agreed. I was on the fence between the two, but loved the ceramic bracelet better on this.

Same. You can’t see in the pic, but all the edges of the movement are polished, so it’s monotone from head on, but shiny when movement viewed from an angle. Plus there is a lot to see going on. Pretty cool!

Definitely one of the best value in this line up. Ceremic case with open worked dial. Only problem i have with this is the squareness of the watch just doesnt sit right on my wrist.

I could see that. I have a flat, 7.5” wrist, so sits well.

I feel the same way. I badly want to get one - had the Ando delivered for me and turned it down at the boutique due to how it sits, really a shame!

I really like the openwork too but wish there was more anglage (but I guess that’s difficult at the current price point)

Reviving a dead thread here but I've been lusting over the blasted rose gold Octo Finissimo for a while and I finally picked one up. I love many of the octo finissimo models, but this one is my favorite overall. I also appreciate that thanks to the rose tone and blasted finish, it doesn't scream 'Gold Watch!'

I joined the club yesterday!
Traded my Rolex Submariner for something of much more horological interest and better looking imo
I don’t know why the dial is called black when it’s dark grey but it’s a beauty and after nearly 24 hours it’s keeping very accurate time within 1 second

Love the rose gold

Wish they’d release a yellow gold with the same brushed/blasted finishing.

I really liked mine but the automatic rotor stopped working. Just a heads up to avoid the gen 1 movements.

Gen 1 Octo FS does seem to have problems crop up. Thankfully the one here has been fine, thankfully, as Bvlgari's Gen 2 movement looks lackluster by comparison.

Incoming!

It was a tough decision between the titanium and the brushed steel. I went with the steel in the end. It's so different to anything else I've worn. Really enjoy wearing it at the moment.

Unfortunately I ended up trading mine after a week, I couldn’t get the bracelet right, either too tight or too loose, it annoyed me too much!
No form of adjustment or even half links is a problem
