Octo Finissimo S — arrived

Post by hoppes-no9 » Tue Sep 21, 2021 10:30 am

Just arrived.

Wow.

Technically amazing, incredibly light and comfortable, superb fit and finish. I realize the aesthetic is not everyone’s cup of tea, but this watch is a marvel.

This is the new S model, which adds a screw down crown and 100m WR, at the expense of ~1mm added thickness (now just over 6mm). The polished steel hands and markers look either silver or black depending on the light.

Here’s the pics

Congrats! I really dig the unique design and especially how thin it is. I have a feeling it would look like a dinner plate on my wrist, but I still think these are really cool.

At first glance, It looked like a manual wind movement until I noticed the tiny rotor. Very cool.
No, it's not Tourettes.

One of the smallest winding rotors I've seen on an automatic. Pretty neat I say so myself

Apparently it’s platinum, to give it enough heft to do the job

That bracelet looks like steel silk

Onyx crown setting? Nice touch. I really dig this watch.

Thanks. The crown insert is ceramic. And the bracelet is really slinky.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

Love 'em. I want to try one of these one day. I really like the skeletonized versions, especially the tourbillon

Can it get any cooler Dan?! ..I don’t think so ! :o :headbang:

Man, I thought it looked beautiful before you got it, but
it leaves you in awe seeing it on the wrist. :salute: Plus you
really can see the insanely high level of finishing, along
with just wonderful details within the watch. From the
sleek personality, to the disappearing, and re-appearing
markers, and numbers, this one really IS a marvel !

You could even wear this masterpiece upside down to
enjoy that movement Dan. :grin: ..Wow, you have to be
ecstatic sir. I really hope you enjoy ! A HUGE congrats
here, or there I mean !!!
