Did not in the past, but it has slowly started to grow on me. Orange looks especially good on the Explorer II.

Thanks actionkwj. Everywhere I go people approach me ask about the car. They'll yell out questions and comments to me at stop lights. You'd be surprised at the number of folks who think it's a vintage Challenger. One man asked how I got HID head lights for it. :)

Chrysophobia

With all the blue and green and gold envy here on the forum, let's give orange a little love. What about you TRF? Show off your orange Rolex and more!

PS - Pics not mine and from web.
A little off topic, but:

Chrysophobia (fear of the color orange) is certainly not a disorder that you have.

This phobia affects approximately 250,000 Americans, perhaps the most famous of all is reputed to be Barbara Streisand. These people have to "avert their eyes" in the presence of this color.

I, like you, am sometimes drawn to a little orange in watches. One of my possible favorites would be the modern Milgaus, probably the Z-Blue.

I once had a lady friend with chrysophobia. She identified with Streisand.

When she (lady friend, not Barbara) was coming up to my cabin, I rushed around to hide any object or clothing that was orange. Then I realized that orange is not a color that I have or wear in large proportion. Needless search.

My lady friend, apparently, had some other issues as well (don't we all?), so, ultimately, it didn't work out.

Anyway, be sensitive to anyone who seems oddly to "avert their eyes" from the sight of one of your watches - they may have chrysophobia.

:-)
