offshore or-19 color change?

[Scott-EYE1]

Did they change the color of the heavy tension or-19 from red to orange. Positive I was holding an orange set in my hands yesterday at the store and it had me confoosed for a minute. Thanks.

Actually, they didn't. The OR-19 was brought on to the market last year in the orange color.

The OR-19 is the original OR-16 (red) WITHOUT the pin in the center of it. When the OR-16 came out, WITH the pin in the center of it, they stopped producing the OR-16 WITHOUT the pin. Many people wanted the original one back, so Bruce brought it back, but made it orange, and called it an OR-19 instead. That way, there wouldn't be any confusion in what you were buying.

The 19 has the same tension as the original 16, but doesn't have a pin in the center of it.

The 19 has never been red, except when it was the original 16. LOL

So, if you had asked if the "original OR-16" was changed from red to orange, then the correct answer would have been, "yes". But, the 19 has always been orange. ;-)

I edited it so it would be easier, and less confusing to read. ;-)

Thank you for the correction Juls, I didn't realize the orange ones had no pin.
