·Please excuse my ignorance (I can't keep all the different models in my head and I need to see each one as they're being discussed to remember what they look like)....
what's the model on the RIGHT of this photo?? Because that's very close to what I was talking about....
Again - please pardon the ignorance - what's an 'OB' ?? (any chance a link to that article?)
Here's what an original Orange Boy Autavia ref 1163 looks like.
The Hodinkee tribute looks really nice, but it lacks the proper case style and dual register layout of the original, as well as having the crown on the wrong side.

·It was an inspiration, not a re-edition. I place the Hodinkee OB just behind the Siffert in the line-up. I’ve had an original OB. Nice watch but I didn’t love it. I liked the Viceroy a lot more and that costs less than half 👍

Call me odd, but I don't like the case on the original - I prefer the case-style on the modern 'homage'. 😁
I'm not sure what all the case-styles are called, but I don't like the 'bulging' effect that the older case seems to have.

·That’s probably because you don’t have any wearing experience with cushion cases yet. They combine vintage character and amazing comfort (most of the time)…

·I'd wager most of the people here who think the Grand Carrera is abhorrent probably haven't 'experienced' it either.... just sayin.

·There are a lot of limited/special editions aimed at tourist destinations/airlines, in surprising numbers.... but I guess these places have a high turnover/footfall so it's quite easy to sell a lot of pieces. I looked up that Eddie Aikau guy, he was quite famous in Hawaii, still 1200 pieces seems quite a lot.

·After further reading, the 2500 LE TAG Heuer Aquaracer was commissioned by PAL in 2009 to recognize and give tribute to their loyal employess who have reached atleast 25 years in the airline company 👍 Such a great loyalty award 😉
Just a trivia, Philippine Airlines is “Asia’s First Airline” founded in 1941 just before WW2 😀

·I'm currently researching the Aquaracer and it's unbelievable just how many limited editions there are and how many pieces of each were made... for example, we just had the new Aquaracer Ibiza made in 20 pieces, compare that to older (quartz) Aquaracers -

Maui (700)
Maldives (1000)
Bora Bora (900)
