Re: Worthless Detail that Sells for a Premium
In Response To: Worthless Details that Sell for a Premium ()

Shauntavia I don't mind, it's a fun play on words with the "au" in both. Orange Boy though? Don't like it. It's an example of that anthropomorphism again and unnecessary as far as I'm concerned. Unlike the 365 GTB/4, which even some people within Ferrari called the Daytona, I doubt anyone at Heuer called that watch "Orange Boy". And I won't either! I mean, why "Boy" even?!! No, not for me.
