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?

Minimalist · 26 January 2021, 11:33 PM

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

Regards,
M.

Orange makes it more special for me.

samson66 · 27 January 2021, 12:53 AM

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.

I have the same in orange, I'm on the verge of buying a 42mm in black as well.

I love orange, just not that orange.

1William · 27 January 2021, 01:03 AM

I prefer the orange.

Cassidy776 · 27 January 2021, 01:21 AM

Once you black, you never go back !!!!!

Stevec14 · 27 January 2021, 06:03 AM

Orange for me, but either over the modern versions!

harrisonkris66 · 27 January 2021, 06:23 AM

Black. Good enough for bond its good enough for me

Agree

gnuyork · 27 January 2021, 09:24 AM

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.

CalSRQ1 · 27 January 2021, 09:54 AM

Have had both- black remains

Jster · 27 January 2021, 10:04 AM

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

AEC · 27 January 2021, 11:47 AM

I'm all about an all-orange PO

FTX I · 27 January 2021, 07:56 PM

TBH I thought black would win by far but orange is loved around here too. Thanks guys.

Cassidy776 · 28 January 2021, 02:47 AM

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.

C0d · 28 January 2021, 03:13 AM

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.

Greglaw · 28 January 2021, 03:41 AM

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

Jack T · 28 January 2021, 04:30 AM

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

Oyster Sauce · 28 January 2021, 04:41 AM

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

That makes sense.

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

Soarer · 28 January 2021, 01:27 PM

Orange pops! Miss the Orange PO 42mm I sold foolishly years ago.

Blackdog · 28 January 2021, 09:10 PM

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.
