The only thing is that many will react like me: They don't want to wear a trade who's associated to feminine products like perfumes,jewels,purses... I prefered the "Daniel Roth" brand: It had a name in the watch-making...Bulgari don't: It just appear like a fashion brand. I have way too much hair on my chest to wear something with "Bulgari" on the dial. This name is too gay for me  |

I don't know what to make of this yet but if Bulgari can tone down its logo/brand and instead amplify the Roth/Genta brands maybe that will help. |

I don't think this is a great idea... |

It will take lots of time for Bulgari to convince true WISdom to strap on a jewelry brand on their wrists.  |

I suppose it's only a matter of time until BVLGARI, BVLGARI, BVLGARI is plastered all over the new models... Are all Bulgari owners the same? I was at a business function some time ago and I met this European dude wearing one of the BVLGARI BVLGARI BVLGARI watches. Me: "Hey, that's a cool Bulgari! What model is it?" Him (strong spanish accent): "I don't know. Why you some sort of watch freak?" Me: "Yes, you could say that" Him: "What are you wearing?" Me: "Hamilton, vintage 1950ish..." Him: "Oh, I thought you were really into watches. This watch probably costs more than your car" Me: "Ok, didn't really answer the question, but have a great day!"...underbreath..."asshole" Ever since then, I could care less about owning a Bulgari. It sorta spoke to who would wear such a watch plastered with advertisements. |

There's not many explanations to that: *His watch had a tourbillon complication and he is still an arrogant creep... *His watch was loaded with diamonds and made of platinum and he's still an arrogant creep. *His watch didn't have any of those features and the movement of this watch could just buy the thermometer of your car: He been f*cked and paid a fortune for the brand's name...Let's call this a f*cked arrogant creep. My guess: He just knew nothing about watches, he just wanted to flash his wrist and his buks with a way to open mouth... I would have flash his pretty face with a lightning smack  Last edited on Mon Aug 2nd, 2010 12:53 pm by Hammerfjord |

 I'm going to step in and comment asking to please stop the homophobic use of the term gay. Gay doesn't equal bad in my world and I find this connotation offensive. If this guy was an ass or straight up douche well then that's one thing. To equate this with gay is just not right. You don't have to condone homosexuality to feel as I do. I'm just not into discrimination in any form. I'm certain any number of us have friends or family who just might play for the other team. And no I'm not gay, bi-curious or simply light in my loafers. Let's leave the gay-bashing and narrow mindedness to the other low rent forums.  |

I totally understand Mark. I was refering to my first comment here as this Bulgari trade represent a feminin range of products at the origin. Meaning that a feminin product symbol or trade on a man's wrist was a bit non-straight in my eyes. I have no problems with homosexuals and I don't bash them in everyday's life: They do what they want and it's not of my business. I don't have any phobia on this side and I never had any trouble with them because we allways repected our different tastes in life. Sorry for the misunderstanding: I just personnaly dislike this feminin fashion and feel like it's not appropriated on a man's wrist. My own opinion only. |

I always hated they hijacked a great word and name. gay to me is that word for jo;lly and fun my grandpa used back in the day. and I went to High school with a very beautiful girl named Gay. That said of the 3 brands the only one I every really liked much was the Daniel Roth. This is a beauty!!! Attachment: DRTOURSKEL02.jpg (Downloaded 18 times) |
