Couple of verdant beauties caught my eye today - green is so often used badly in wristwatches, and black-cases usually = DLC (which for all its claims, is too-easily marked for my liking) - but these are not the usual herd-followers - albeit intensely Marmite for many:
Bulgari Octo Finissimo "Harrods" special -
and
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe "Mokarran" -
Both ceramic cases, both reassuringly $pendy. Interesting that rivals have released thematically-similar pieces so close-together, too...

I love the display movement but that is where my love for the watch ends. The rest is ugly to me anyway
Well, I'd better order my coffin then!!! Obviously on my way to Bulgari hell.......
Harsh but fair.
If it was SS I'd probably be thinking remortgagey-thoughts... Currently just thinking along overworked-late-middle-aged-kidney black market prices at the mo.
I do like the OF, this is the best yet.
I have to admit, that Bulgari has a certain je ne sais quoi. Is it a reasonable size?
The BP is a bit, everyone else is doing green so we should do one as well.
40mm - but it's wide and very flat, so my guess is it'll wear big in terms of coverage.
The pics don't make it very obvious, but for me the fact the BP is in a black ceramic case + the lovely fade dial + date delete gives it a lot more interest than it might otherwise have.
I like all the Octos, including that one
Seems like Ressence has read the memo, too - particularly like this shade of olive green:
I'd sell your kidney for the Ressence or Vulgari too...
Given all that the poor thing has been through, that wouldn't pay your bus-fare to the ADs...
Another philistine here.

Blimey that’s actually quite special. Not a Bulgari fan but this has turned my head. Reminds me of the zenith el primero skeleton
For me sorry but the Bathyscaphe does nothing for me at all - any of them. The FF on the other hand..
Now that is very special indeedSeems like Ressence has read the memo, too - particularly like this shade of olive green:
