Very nice, but for the price there are a few models I prefer instead

Any discount? It’s got a nice brushed dial finish and shows well in sunlight.

I looked at this watch before and always decided against it. Love the colours and the rails but the a-symmetry in the watch actually bothers me

Nice watch but it is not my cup of tea

A buddy of mine bought this and the color scheme is nice
, a bunch of us contemplated the 5235G the R is nicer TBH.


But this is a very different kind of watch and likely a collectors watch and likley multiple pieces in.

I love it but it's on the larger side for me and as others have said, there's other pieces I'd buy before this one. I believe the msrp is over 50k....Would need to be discounted probably 10k-ish for me to even consider

Not for me. I don't know where in the PP line-up I would go but this watch is not it.

I was just offered one by AD and turned it down-just doesn’t appeal to me. If you do buy, better plan on not selling later- you will not do well on resale imo, don’t do it , regards :-)

It's a nice watch with an unusual and striking style. But, the regulator layout probably appeals to a very narrow segment of the market. To me that means if you buy it, you'd better like it a lot.

One of the first I've seen on the forum, think it would be a nice addition, better than the WG which with the faint dial text on top is just too monochrome.

I think it's an excellent watch to add to a collection, but not as an only PP. Would definitely need to be a keeper.

I personally would pass. If you love it enough, you can get it cheaper on the grey given it is not a popular reference.

I like it. Like others have said there are other models I’d choose at the price (5212,5960,5524,5167,5711,5726, etc). But I’ve always loved the white gold one. Someday I’ll get one I think.

I own the 5235G but got to try on the R recently. The 5235R is quite nice.
