Thoughts on 7130G World Timer?

I'm trying to find an exhibition piece so I can give it a try. My wrist can def take 36mm (up to 40mm too depending on design). I'm debating whether to get this or an AP RO Rose Gold with Diamonds & Green dial. They're different and may eventually end up getting both. But my budget only allows for one in the immediate future!

Would love to hear people's thoughts on 7130G world timer specially those who have seen it in person? Thank you.

I think it's a very pretty/attractive blue shade. I kinda wanted the wife to want it, but she doesn't like diamond bezels.

Admired a 7130G in the shop window last week next to a 5230P. Very pretty watch I think. I would have picked the 5230P for myself though as I find the case more interesting and am not big on diamond bezels. I'd also prefer baguette diamonds.

That specific RO is not for me as I am not a fan of RG and green no matter how fashionable it has been lately.

Thank you - insights are really helpful. I checked and 5230P doesn't seem to be available retail anymore.

It was on the runout list this year, so just discontinued, but that AD still had one in the shop window.

Ahhh thank you. I do prefer ideally without diamonds but I think 36mm is best for my wrist. I've asked my SA to put an order for me and there's a part of me that hopes it'll only come in late this year/ early next year. But based on what I'm seeing, it seems some pieces come faster now.
