Omega Planet Ocean - Black or Orange?

I indicated in an earlier posting that my wife surprised me last week with a new Omega Planet Ocean (45.5 mm, black bezel, bracelet). The dealer sized the bracelet and I have been wearing it for a week. I love it.

I am now wondering whether I should exchange it for the one with the orange bezel and numbers. The dealer has indicated it is willing to order the orange one and make the exchange, even though the PO my wife bought and I am wearing has already been sized, and it even has some light scratches on the bracelet.

Here's the question -- should I keep the black one or go for the orange one?

I know this is a highly personal choice, but any advice and perspectives would be appreciated. On the one hand, the black one is understandably a classic and will always be in style. On the other hand, the orange one is unique and cool. But is it too "trendy"?

By the way, whatever choice I make, this will be my only "real" watch until I get a Breitling Chronomat Evolution in January.

Thanks for your help.
