Interesting, the first thing I thought of when I saw it was the PP Nautilus.

A PP Nautilus 5980? Ah, I miss beer goggles.

I gotta say, when it comes to that shape, there is no substitute for the Nautilus.

I for one do like that...it has a good different look, sporty and sophisticated and has an interesting movement..though the all black version looks even cooler which if I am not mistaken is a limited edition for the New Zealand rugby team

Interesting.
Like their jewellery and accessories but not their watches.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of the design in the OP's post. But I remember seeing this Bulgari Daniel Roth Grande Sonnerie and being quite impressed. (Well in the video and not in real life...pretty sure they have armed guards surrounding these watches in a locked suitcase somewhere.

Beautiful watch!

I'm actually a Bulgari convert. Used to think they were just a fashion fad. Distinctive designs though but with ETA movements. Got myself a Diagono Aria Pro GMT just recently. Very good watch, easily Cartier quality.

Lately, they bought Genta and Daniel Roth so now they can add "manufacture" to their brand.

That particular model is a Daniel Roth design with a healthy dollop of Greco-Italian flair.

First impression of the watch is like a cross of the PP 5980 (case shape and the dials) and a RM (crown). Not sure if I am a fan of it myself.

Love the effort bvlgari is making, they've been producing very good watches for a long time.

Bvlgari owns Gerald Genta (the brand), and with that came many of the Daniel Roth's designs as well. Thus the similarity to the Nautilus.

I went to Bvlgary AD in Beverly hills this afternoon, and tried it on my wrist... looks good, its pricing at $ 14K plus tax.

I personally prefer the PP Nautilus to this watch. It isn't ugly but I don't like how the case gets quite long near the lugs.

I like the big date window though!

That's one brand I have wanted to get into for a long time, but nothing seems to float my boat.

Sorry, too weird for me - but someone's gota like it. It would be boring if we all wore the same watches.

Not a huge fan of the picture, but I bet this is a great looking watch in person.
