Orange PO vs Black
It's been a year I don't visit my watchmaker due to this whole situation and that would be a nice excuse to visit them again. I got both dials and bezel so it could go back to orange for some time. Problem is I get tired of colors quickly. That made me wonder, which one you prefer?

Black for me. Don't like the orange. Personal preference.

I like the black. Not a fan of the solid orange bezel. Just too much orange for me.
I prefer the models that use touches of orange a lot better. |

Black - just more classic. I admit the orange appealed to me, but my thought was I would tire of it after a while. I went with the more conservative black and I do not regret my decision.

Black. I like orange watches but that particular shade of orange just doesn't do it for me.

I'd bet that most that picked Orange, don't own it. Yeah, it looks great at first but after a short time, would tire of it.

Orange is a bit much for me. That black is a timeless classic. So plain it doesn't acknowledge anything but itself. Like the old submariners.

I think that the orange is more fun-and Omega's shade of orange is just right.

My 42mm 2500 is all black, in near perfect condition; it's exactly what I want.

The black has got to be one of the coolest “neo-vintage” divers out there...love it.

Orange is the signature color of the PO.
The right hue of orange sold me on my first PO. |

The orange is really cool, but I think it’d have to be the black one for me.

I think you’re doing it right by switching back and forth

I just bought a black 42mm. Matter of fact, still awaiting the delivery !
My choice would be black: timeless classic. The most orange I would go is the dial with the orange 6-9-12 numerals, but keeping the black bezel. |
