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...

lol. I changed a light bulb and clear the snow off my driveway with my 5711

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