With all due respect to the earlier "Orange Boys", with the brushed "Viceroy" style hands, this one is the "killer" to my eye. The orange-edged hands look so much stronger than the brushed ones, and to me they "set off" the whole watch. Bang!! Beautiful!!
In many instances, I believe that Heuer "got it right the second time", and this is one of these situations (IMHO).
I am wearing my "Gilles" Autavia today (201040), and admiring the family resemblance!!
