This the closest I could get to space grey for Milanese and it's not a loop, please ignore the adapters :
Can you post a pic. I am actually debating between the classic leather buckle and the leather loop, but haven't seen a classic leather buckle on a Space Grey in the wild yet. Tx
I am looking at these two Skagen bands:

The second on is out of stock at the moment, and is black, but I trust Skagen bands a lot more than I trust no-name Chinese imports. The last think I want to happen is for the band to break at the joint where it attaches to the adapter while I'm wearing it and for my watch to go flying!
I have not pulled the trigger yet on these, if you do let us know how it turns out please.

I think this shows the contrast best, you can still see the entire connector is SS but I feel it look like a small accent on the watch.
Thanks, do either of these require adapters to use on the watch? How much did those typically cost and where can you find them?
Absolutely. I am awaiting adapters from Click: https://www.get-click.com and they are supposed to be shipping at the end of the month. But you can find other adapters on Amazon and eBay. If you get an adapter that doesn't use a standard watch pin then be prepared to have to open up the hooks a little, that's why I'm planning on using the click adapters.
I got it last week. They came with a small screw driver. Kind of hard to unscrew to install the watch band but I did it!!
That looks good. Like the brown / Grey combo. Can you post a few more shots from the top?
I just ordered this from amazon just to see if it's worth keeping. It's easy enough to return things bought on Amazon if it turns out bad.
Found this cool one on eBay. Just like the kind of combo I wanted, a brown leather band that comes with the space grey adapters. Again, it's from the US and the postage is too much to the UK: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=181764022567&globalID=EBAY-GB
If anyone gets it please share pics and thoughts!
Here is the shot from the top. I bought the band from:

I actually just ordered this one from Amazon -- even has a space/dark gray buckle: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009CF3PJC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00
I'll be attaching with these lugs: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351392349550

Adapters are kind of a chrome black finish looks ok I think.
I've now wasted a little over $100 on eBay and Amazon.com buying bands. None of them are good quality -- all Chinese knockoffs. Like a dummy, I didn't save the packaging to return them so they will go to the Goodwill. I doubt many patrons there can use Watch bands but I'll get the tax write-off.
