Bulgari's SERPENTI watch..... Opinions pls

[Pursephile]

For serpenti single tubogas watch owners, does the watch come in multiple sizes, and what size would fit a ~6in wrist? Or does it come only in a single size - and what range of wrist measurements would it fit? And how comfortable is it for daily wear?

Thank you!

Hi there, not an owner (yet) but I went to the boutique last week to try on and am obsessed I actually don’t know what size I tried on but assume small. My wrist is about 5.5 inches but where it’s sitting up higher is 6”. The two tone come in both small and large. The SA told me it shapes to your wrist over time. I am used to bracelet stacks so I found it very comfortable but obv didn’t have it on for very long. I highly recommend you go to a boutique to try on, I can’t get them out of my head since then

Thank you so much for weighing in! I have been to the boutique and tried on the watch - that is when I fell in love with it! - but at that time I was just browsing and didn’t check what size I tried. But looking at your pics it seems likely it was the small.

I was obsessed with the grey face but I think more and more the white face is growing on me! I think with the white the RG hands and numbers pop more. I also tried the double coil tubogas but it doesn’t suit me at all. My forearms are too short and too thick.

I also remember back when I tried this watch on for the first time on a lark I also tried on the pave version and that was STUNNING! I believe they’ve phased/phasing it out now though. Still - WHAT a watch if it’s still available once I have the funds / a good enough occasion to spend those kind of funds I would 100000% buy it!!!

I know, I feel you no other watch has stirred this desire and obsession with me before, and I tried researching and looking up watch reviews, etc. But surprisingly can’t find much on it?? I wear more yg and bummed they don’t have as many yg options.

I really adore the diamond version I tried on, but for the price diff might end up with the plain two tone instead . I think the single coil is perfect as well and my hubby says for the price it’s really bracelet + watch in one, sooooo running with that logic lol.

Also, I agree if I were to pick a day to day watch, I’d pick the white face as well. It sounds like you’re on the cusp of making a decision and can’t wait for your reveal!!

I swear I am OBSESSED with this watch, but like you said - there’s just not a lot out about it!!

There’s a single tubogas YG and steel version that I have seen before but perhaps might have been discontinued. But you might be able to find it in boutiques or preloved. Sometimes they carry old stock for years.

I like my watches to have a little sparkle to them, so I know I want some diamond to them. And I agree with your husband - it’s a piece of jewellery along with being a watch!

Tbh I’m torn between just doing the single wrap tubogas as a daily watch (with the white face) or waiting longer, saving more, and then getting one of the more expensive versions as a special occasions thing (and tying it to an occasion). So I’m not really close to a decision, haha.

Honestly you can’t go wrong with either! For me I love wearing my watches as a daily and switching them out, so I think single is more versatile bc you can dress up or down and it’s harder to dress the multiple twists down. But they are gorgeous! Also I am worried about forearm real state availability lol.

I know, I am obsessed too and have spend spending the last few days while sick in bed researching and lurking 😍

I hope you get your watch soon!

I am going to go to the boutique this weekend (again, lol) and try on what is available to at least make up my mind about which one it is that I want!

Oops - I forgot to take pictures!! But I have decided that the double loop is definitely not for me. Currently torn between the face colours for the two-tone single loop.

I also tried on the new RG one with the pave face for fun and I absolutely LOVE it! A part of me now wonders if I would be better off saving for an eternity (lol) and getting that one instead!

Hello everyone! I am new to this forum and joined specifically for this thread!

So, for a couple years now I have fallen in love with BVLGARI and own a couple different handbags and jewelry. I have a demi pavé rose gold Serpenti bracelet, and a full pavé rose gold Serpenti ring (the thin snake one that’s one coil). I love them so much so naturally the next thing I have my eye on is a Serpenti Tubogas watch! It’s so iconic, yet I feel like it’s not something that many people have, so it is still somewhat unique.

Anyway, I wanted some feedback from people who already own the watch. First of all, I have a bigger build, so my arms and wrists are not tiny, but I am in the process of losing weight, and I do have about 35-40 lbs to lose. Second, I do live near a BVLGARI store and have tried on a couple of the watches.

So here’s the situation… most of the Serpenti Tubogas watches only come in one size since they are flexible, but the stainless steel one (both with and without diamonds) does come in a large size. I tried on both the small and large and the larger size does feel a little better since I said that I have bigger frame and it’s a little longer and wraps around my wrist/arm a little better. However, I have read here and other sourches as well as heard from the sales associates that over time the watch can conform more to the shape of your wrist/arm. I was really hoping to buy one for my birthday in the beginning of March, but I am wondering if I should wait and buy one later when I lose a little weight first? I mean, I know my arms don’t get THAT much thinner when I lose weight, but I guess my concern is that I don’t want the watch to stretch out too much if it indeed does conform more to your wrist/arm. I also was leaning toward the stainless steel with the diamonds anyway, because I am looking for something that is casual enough to wear everyday but also has a touch of bling and sparkle so that it can be dressed up or down. A part of me thinks that the large size would be better even after I lose weight, because I still have a larger bone structure.

I don’t know… I really want this watch soooo bad but I guess I just wanted to hear from everyone first before jumping the gun. I GUESS I could wait a little longer, but I also am just so excited that I don’t want to wait lol. Any comments or suggestions?? I appreciate it in advance!!

I have a Bulgari tubogas bracelet and a viper ring, and I don’t find that they stretch much if at all. I am on the chunky side of slim and slowly lost 40 pounds (I was pre diabetic) so I understand your concern. I would go with the larger one too. Good luck with your weight loss efforts and your Bulgari decision.

I completely understand your concerns. It’s a lot of money and you don’t want to make a mistake. Personally I think this watch has to fit correctly or it loses its elegance. I have a medium build l, slim but bigger boned and when I tried on the watch it was a just fit. If I had gained weight then I feel like my skin would have been pushed up a little making it look tight. If you are also a larger boned build definitely go for the larger size watch.,,.it will look more elegant even if you lose weight, a little loose is prettier than a little tight. Good luck deciding!
