Arguing that the Explorer is the true, original, James Bond watch as actually worn by Ian Fleming is one way to waste your time. Loosing sleep over the fact that in The Equalizer 3 one of the villains arrogantly corrects Denzel Washington’s character as to the fact that his watch is a Bulgari just before Denzel punks him big time – that another story.

But subsequently trying to rewrite cinematic history to include some Italian super spy who would choose a (lumed) Octo Finissimo as his daily driver – well that’s a horse of a different color altogether now ain’t it?

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic

As it is, I bought the Octo in conjunction with a personal milestone soI am unlikely to ever part with it. And While I purchased the Explorer shortly after my 35th birthday, it wasn’t exactly tied to that occasion.

So given that I like the Explorer a bit more, but the Octo holds a tad more sentimental values – they’re both keepers. So I have to make sure they get along. Here’s how I do it: I tell the Explorer-

-No, on second thought, I think this has been revealing enough. To the point I’m concerned someone, somewhere, might think to institutionalise me for talking to my timepieces. No need to take this any further 😊

Thank you for your time.
