Bulgari Serpenti

I am still considering buying a Serpenti bracelet in the demi pave/yellow gold but unsure what size to go for. I tried on a medium last December at Heathrow T5 but it was comfortable to the point of being on the looser side and I have lost a lot of weight since then. However, I wear a size 17 Love bracelet (full bracelet) and it is my understanding that the small Serpenti may be too small?

Does anyone have any thoughts regarding sizing for this bracelet? Unfortunately it is difficult for me to get to a store to try it on in person. If I do go ahead and buy it will be in the Heathrow T5 boutique in December and I will have to order and prepay in advance, therefore need to know what size I require.
I wear a 17 in Love and small in Serpenti fits me perfectly

Thanks for this - do you mind me asking how the Love fits, is it a close fit to your wrist or a looser one? Mine is a close fit, not tight but it doesn’t move much if at all unless I move it deliberately. I haven’t actually measured my wrist for a long time but I’d estimate it is around 15-15.5cm.

My wrist is 15.5cm at the bone part. I wear love 18 and serpenti medium. Both are on the looser end. If your love 17 is loose on you, serpenti small could be fine.

I have the Serpenti bracelet in both demi pave and full pave (RG). Each piece fits a bit differently so you need to try on multiple pieces if possible. They’re not all identically sized. You might fit in a loose S or a tight M. I wear Love in 16 and I wear the S, but my full pave is a bit tighter than the demi pave. I’m guessing the M will be better fit in general than S if your wrist is 15cm-ish.

Same here. Both my Serpentis are Medium, but full pave fits tighter than demi pave. I also noticed that each piece fits very different, especially if talking about full pave. No consistency in sizing whatsoever.
 
I love your watch that’s the one I want to get..Thanks so much for sharing.
Is it an everyday watch?
I don’t have a serpenti watch, but I do have a large serpenti tubogas diamond and gold bracelet that wraps. I wear mine casually. While it’s certainly a statement, I do think the style is classic Bulgari. This model has been made in a variety of iterations throughout the years (I think st least since the 1950s) .

I would have no qualm continuing to wear it for many years to come. In fact, I bought it as it was being phased out for the viper model as I simply liked the look of the tubogas a bit better. Of course, it is a strong look, and perhaps an acquired taste, like the Dior saddle or H double tour strap. JMO of course.

I strongly encourage going to your boutique to try on IRL, bc it’s a very individual choice as to fit and style.
