Never in my mind that I like this brand, but this one look different ... any thoughts ? How do you like this watch ?

salem65 · 19 February 2012, 04:32 PM

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

h999r · 19 February 2012, 05:06 PM

Exactly. The bigger version :)

kilyung · 19 February 2012, 05:43 PM

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

capote · 19 February 2012, 07:19 PM

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

asadtiger · 19 February 2012, 08:24 PM

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

esm · 19 February 2012, 08:32 PM

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

experimentjon · 19 February 2012, 08:39 PM

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.

MrJ320 · 20 February 2012, 07:40 AM

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.

HL65 · 20 February 2012, 07:57 AM

Not a fan here but to each his own so if you like it that is all that matters!

Starwalker · 20 February 2012, 08:50 AM

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

B. Doggy · 20 February 2012, 09:30 AM

Not for me

Mosco · 20 February 2012, 10:22 AM

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.

dysondiver · 20 February 2012, 10:37 AM

in a funny way ,,, i kinda like it ,, not sure id buy one , but ive seen a lot worse .

h999r · 20 February 2012, 12:22 PM

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

FeelingTheBlues · 20 February 2012, 12:36 PM

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!

rSm00th · 20 February 2012, 12:36 PM

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

conrail · 21 February 2012, 12:49 AM

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

Rebel · 21 February 2012, 01:15 AM

Not my cup of tea. But, others may find it grand!

slcbbrown · 21 February 2012, 02:03 AM

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

liptonnr · 21 February 2012, 02:34 PM

Not a fan but variety is the spice of life!

huntershooter · 21 February 2012, 11:10 PM

Since you asked, I think it an abomination.
