My newest Daniel Roth

May 08, 2010,18:22 PM
 

I had been tempted by this DR at my local AD for some time. I finally decided to go for it. Just in time too. My AD advised me that Bulgari wanted him to return the watch to them so that they could change the dial to include the Bulgari name. I wasn't going to let that happen so I'm glad I was able to add it to my collection. It's truly a beautiful piece and one I will wear often.

A stunner! Looking forward to a few wrist shots. Is that a hunter case back? How does it detach, does it open up with the strap? Thanks for sharing. Regards, ED-209

Very Nice!

Hi, Great choice you did! Why would someone want to put the Bulgari name on that? Cheers Dje

Congrats Gary!

Back in September of last year, SJX had an excellent post on the tourbillons by Daniel Roth. The above was included amongst the ones he highlighted in his post. It's about 3/4 of the way down in the post. Take a look! It is a double face tourbillon watch ... 

Stunning watch

Dial changes?

Does anyone know going forward if Bulgari will change the original GG and DR dials at a service (maybe just for those models they still produce)? Just wondering after Gary mentioned this new watch was going to have that done? Cheers all Tim

Hi Tim, I've got a message into our contacts at Bulgari regarding the dial change during service (and the AD's comment about the previous GG/DR models being sent back for re-dials ). This is the first I've heard about it but will verify asap. Regards, ED-...

On Saturday, I met the Bulgari rep for this part of the states plus all of Canada. Before the rep came out from the back of the store, my AD said he had already discussed comments from him and his customers (including me) about the dislike of the Bulgari ...

Hi Gary, Thanks for sharing your opinion and your experience with the rep and your AD. I'm glad to hear that the rep was receptive of your comments and concerns and that the rep will communicate this to the corporate level. Can you tell me which movement ...
