We have all struggled with many of the nicknames, and perhaps it is impossible to keep the understandings entirely clear.
Still, let me point out that -- at least to the "purists" [if there can be such a concept, with these nicknames -- there is only one "Orange Boy". It has a black dial, with orange accents, brushed steel hands with orange tips, three orange "stripes" on the minute recorder, and burnt orange chronograph needles. In other words, it is almost identical to the early Viceroys, except that we have orange accents (on the "Orange Boy'), rather than the red accents (on the Viceroy).
You also show an Autavia with a white dial . . . there does not seem to be a uniform name for this one.
