5230P-001 Blue Owners: Speak to me!
 
I have been looking at that piece, I was wondering if owners could chime in on their experiences and wrist shots. The good the bad and the ugly, lay it on me!!

Only fantastic things to say about the 5230p.

Size is perfect at 38.5mm and 10.2mm thin.

Platinum case.

The lovely 240 micro-rotor movement.

The blue hand-guilloché dial is beautiful.

It is a romantic, nearly 9-decade old Patek complication.

When I look at the dial, it evokes tangible emotions and memories of trips taken to many of the cities on the dial. And for those not yet visited, it provides visions and allure of future destinations.

I was expecting quality input, and you gave that! What I did not expect was a gripping emotional message...you over deliver!

I failed to mention the lugs, which are really special. [emoji482][emoji482]

How is the clasp? I am always worried about soft metal clasps, is it comfortable? Has it been durable for you?
