Re: So Now, Everything is an "Orange Boy"

This has been happening for a long time, but seems t be getting worse of late. To my eyes there are two OBs, the white with black and black with white sub dials both 1163 ref of course, but I know you only favour one Jeff. Still I think we can agree not everything with orange highlights is an orange boy!

I'd be happy to revert to no nicknames but the problem is there are too many dial variations to ably describe them with std Heuer refs, and let's be honest applying nicknames and selecting the "wheat from the chaff" is what collectors like to do!

It's a busy summer for me, so I won't be around much, but best to all in the Heuer world.

Cheers
