Anyone have this combination?
I prefer the look and wearability of the Milanese loop, but I also like the contrast between the Gold Aluminum and the Graphite/Silver, am I crazy???

also how’s the combination of the Gold Aluminum and the Gold Milanese Loop?

All of these bands has glossy connectors (they're intended to be used with SS models) so they will look abit funny with the alu body. If I had to make a choise I'd go for the graphite one.

I think the Graphite and Gold both look good. The connector doesn’t bother me at all. I have the Space Black SS and the Gold SS bands with my S5 Gold Aluminum watch. The SB and Graphite SS Bands look good with my S6 Red watch.

Thanks, I barely can find anyone on YouTube demo this combos. I guess we have better taste. :cool:
Any scratching issues with the SS Band and Alumiunium case?

NO. I have worn the SS ML bands for years with my aluminum watches. So have my husband and daughter. We all prefer that band. No scratching.

YES! I found someone who praises the same combo!!! I am planning to order the graphite steel loop for my series 4 gold aluminum, I just looove the combination. Although...it’s quite expensive.. where can you find a cheaper dupe?? :) thanks!

Go for the $99 band If you can possibly afford it. The real thing has so much more heft and quality feel to it. The space black cheaper one my husband wore had a lot of the finish rub off that band. I bought him a ‘real’ one at Apple and it is so much classier and continues to look so nice.

I’ve used my silver aluminum with the silver Milanese band and never scratched it but I was mindful of the reports on here and was careful. I don’t like the ML though. I find it uncomfortable. I’ve changed my watch to the gold stainless and I’m not in the least bit tempted to get the ML just because of how uncomfortable it is relative to my other bands.
 
I wouldn’t put a Milanese loop on your aluminum watch. It will scratch your watch in very short order.
Which part would be scratched? The unseen underside or the loops the band goes through?

If the scratches are in unseen issues, I don't see a problem.
