Lovin' orange. What about you, TRF?

I've always had a thing for orange since I got my first Planet Ocean and the trend continued with my black faced Expy II with orange GMT hand. Since then, I've been jonesing for some other classic designs with a hint of orange including the classic 1655, the Omega Mark II, and the Heuer Autavia 16030.

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.

Ha, thanks Seth, you're very kind. I consider myself very lucky to have had the chance to add these two to my collection.

I've had a few orange watch straps, mostly for the summer months but this is my love affair with Orange. :)

Cheers, Sarah

Orange does give a retro vibe. The use of orange in the military implies a training or experimental status. It was used widely in the 50s-70s as we advanced in aerospace technology. Orange is also the international color of caution. It draws the eye.
