1163 Orange Boy with 11630 hands...

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!!
