Summer Edition on Orange

Not everyone's cup of tea, but I really like it!

I think a red strap to match the sub dial hands may have worked.

No, not for me. I like the orange, which works well (in my view) with the RG.

I don’t like it. White works much better. There is no orange in the dial for color coordination. Anyway, bold choice, respect

It's a balmy summer all of a sudden here so what the hell, get the fun straps on while you can I say! Tried mine with a grey strap but it wasn't working, prefer the original black for rubber, so got some nice cufflinks instead.

Definitely a summer watch! The other end of whatever summer we do get it will go back on blue. I don't like the white.

Note to self… “Don’t ever ask Chris for interior design or paint colour advice!”

Ballsy… and no, that’s not a euphemistic compliment!

Surprised to hear that, like white myself, and had orange on my Omega PO so I like orange too, and so do the ladies, this they notice.

When I got it I liked the white, but not any more. I doubt I'd ever put it back on white. I like the orange more than I thought I would, but I think the blue is the best.

I could see the Russians (no offence intended) wearing it for skiing along with their ‘Team Bogner’ ski gear.

Orange is my favorite color. I drive yellow and orange sports cars because I love the boldness and to stand out.

However, this imo just doesn't work but if you like it that's all that matters.

Beautiful watch though!

I like an orange strap, but definitely wouldn't own an orange car!
