Rich:

Thanks for your comments . . . always insightful!!

Of course, there's no right and wrong here, or bright lines, but in my parlance, the "Orange Boy" is the one shown on top (black dial, white registers), and the one shown below (white dial / dark registers) has a multiplicity of nicknames -- white chocolate, milk chocolate, great white, etc.

By the way, Rich: What are your thoughts on the "Transitional" screw-back Autavia? Did Heuer do a quick run, then bring back the bevel? Production error? Etc., etc.?

: 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

: 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
