What have you guys seen around? I ask because there are dozens and dozens of sellers on Amazon and eBay selling them and want to make the right call. I don't care about price as long as it's not crazy. Im' willing to spend the same price as I would on Apple's on a 3rd party. I just want a black milanese loop that feels like Apple's and isn't terrible quality.

I'm interested to see if there is any "great" black milanese.

I've been using a $25 ebay black milanese and I've actually liked it quite a bit. I don't think there is a material that will not scratch and/or wear off eventually, so I haven't wanted to spend very much on one because I'll likely have to replace it.

i don't think you will find one. they're all essentially the same thing from the same factory. they've gotten better over time, but any differences in quality depend only on the scruples of the seller and their own quality control checking.

i wouldn't plan to spend as much as you do, if i were you.

While I don't have the black version, I can tell you that I've been very impressed with the quality of the MoKo Milanese loop.

if you are UK this is good:

However I have the apple watch strap 'bug', so I swap bands daily. But I'm sure it would be fine for daily use.
