OMG Michael, so did you at least ask your friend if he might consider letting you borrow one for a couple of days?

Go Blue...
Very nice timepieces in your collection. I am partial to the blue dial platinum, it looks like a stunning blue color, heavy platinum on leather- whew...
The closest I came to that was trying on a friend's Chopard 8 day power reserve LUC with a blue dial. It was BNIB, with stickers and all. It is obviously not in the same realm as Patek, but I certainly felt like a king when I wore it that one day... Again, blue dial, Platinum, great combo...Thanks for sharing the pics... Here is a internet photo of the one I tried on...

Goodness gracious! Those are breath taking pieces Michael! Thank you for sharing!
 By the way, I didn't know there was a YG 5130, I thought it was only available in Plt, RG and WG.
