As many contributors may have noticed, I am way behind in "harvesting" photos from this forum and also adding photos that many of our readers have contributed. But every day is a new day, so I turned over a new leaf today and added a few of Stewart's fantastic "Orange Boy" photos, here.

It would be great to have serial numbers from these guys, to see how they fit into the sequence of the "normal" Viceroys.

Thanks for these beautiful photos.

: Well, I've finally got around to making use of the Bank Holiday...

: I'm chuffed with the results, I wanted to do the Orange Boy proud.
: I was trying to get 'accurate' results like Paul's superb
: photography on http://www.heuerworld.com/ , hopefully I've come
: close, although I did have to mess around in Photoshop with
: levels etc (as well as take 50+ shots), as I don't have Paul's
: skill !

: I've strived to keep the orange areas as they are 'in real life' so
: you can see how bright they still are.

: There is a small back-story to this one. I've been hankering after
: a TAG Heuer Monaco (tut, tut), specifically the 'Heuer' badged
: grey model and/or the starburst grey Gulf edition (the one with
: white registers). Despite Monaco Rich bending my ear and urging
: me to 'go vintage', I still had an itch to scratch. So, I
: negotiated a decent deal on a new grey Gulf Monaco but the
: Italian dealer wanted an extortionate amount to deliver it, so
: the deal fell through. I was feeling a bit 'put out', then this
: 'Gulf Autavia' (as some call it) popped up, it even had the rice
: grain bracelet!
: So I'm a very happy bunny.

: (Although, and don't tell Monaco Rich, I still hanker after a grey
: Gulf Monaco - keep it quiet though.. shhh)

: Anyway, enough rambling..
