Anyone worn the Patek Turtleshell (5168G) and have thoughts?

I refuse to call it a hand grenade so I will call it a turtle shell:interested to hear what folks think about the green 5168G after a few weeks/months of ownership...

I know someone who bought one recently together with a nautilus as an investment. Not to wear. He’s in the watch business and has insider contacts. He said it’s harder to find a steel 5167 than it is to find a green 5168.

I only saw it at the roadshow... don’t like it.... i don’t like the size neither. So much so. I said to the AD. You don’t need to order me one.

Not really, he probably said ...."instead of the 5168G, can I get...<insert Patek Enamel worldtime or minute repeater etc> faster?."
