Milanese loop magnetic

After wearing it for a bit, I love the look, but there's NO good way to avoid ripping the hair out of my arm with the magnetic clasp and the edges get a little rough. I have to tighten it up often, where my wrist is really irritated at the end of the day. I will use this strap only on occasion. Everyday use... Ouch. haha
Moko Milanese Loop got delivered today. Figured I'd post some pictures, to help people decide.
I freaking love this thing. I'm not usually a guy who talks about comfort, this thing spoons with your wrist, lol. Doesn't feel like there's pressure at any specific point, like with the sport bands. Magnet is strong, so I'm not concerned about it loosening and having my watch fall off. This will probably be my default band, that I'll wear most often.
By the way, for reference, I'm wearing this band with the 42 MM Space Black SS.

Nice. I have the opposite combination - SS watch and black Moko Milanese band. I agree - this band is great. I've had it for just over a day now.

I was just thinking tonight, I'm impressed with this, so I think I'll order the black one next.
Is there more of a shine factor in-person? I've seen a few of them online, and it's like some models almost look more like Velcro than metal.
It does have a bit of shine... I also have the OEM Apple Milanese band, and the black Moko is shinier than the OEM silver one. I'm quite happy with it.
Sounds good to me. I'll probably go with Moko again, because I'll know what quality to expect.
Just an update, I've been wearing my replacement black milanese loop now for a little while and it hasn't needed any adjustment. I think I got a bad magnet and things are much better 
One odd thing however, the lugs seem very tight on this one. That is, its a bit difficult to slide them into place, unlike my other bands

Cool. What method did you use for coloring it?
I got one of the 3rd-party black Milanese Loop clones, and I think I've reached the conclusion that I prefer the black band to an actual space gray band because most of what you see is the jet black band and the jet black watch face, with some "almost black" around it.
I purchased a cheap silver one I wasn't afraid to destroy on eBay and used Caswell Stainless Steel Blackener Gel. they are at www.caswellplating.com if yo wan to try on your own. It wasn't perfect, but a little touchup with some gray marker made it passable.

I got one several weeks back... love it and wear it about half of the time. The rest of the time is split between a couple of sport bands.
Really liking this rose gold Milanese band! It matches the color of the watch perfectly and the magnet is super strong
Yep, as I mentioned somewhere earlier in the thread, the magnet is much stronger. What's odd is the lugs feel larger - sliding the band on and off seems to require a bit more finagling - seems odd, and not enough for me to complain a second time.
