5235 as a tool watch
I took John Mayer's advice on his Talking Watches segment on Hodinkee when he said, "I clean up dog poop in a Patek." Now who said these pieces were only for formal settings?

Nice watch.
Is that the original blue strap that came with it? |

Very nice watch, it's one of the rare watches towards which I have a strange attraction, strange because I like mostly sports watches and even the non sports watches I like none is even close to this one, it's like the 5960 on bracelet, the white dial, I don't like white dials, with the black date windows and the way they are done make me love that model but just can't get through the bracelet, I saw it 3 days ago at the Patek salon I tried it on, still love the dial but the bracelet is really too close to the bracelet I had on a Breitling before, almost the same at 90%, so maybe I'm blocked by it, but this to say that your watch and a few very rare others are watches that give a kind of unexplainable fascination, at least where I'm concerned...

Btw, how do you like the buckle on the 5235.
