What would this combo look like? I like the look of the black SS watch and can't bring myself to spend over $1600 AUD in buying it when there will be ver 2.0 announced in less than 12 months time. So I'm thinking of getting the cheaper black aluminium with the SS link bracelet. Would this look strange or go well together?
Got a tip for us?

He does. He is asking will the silver SS Link Braclet look ok with the Space Gray Sport Watch.
To be honest, I don't think it will. The link with a normal sport watch might work though.
Wait I saw somewhere a pic of this, I will post it!
It is the black space with the milanese bracelet but it will give you a good idea

I can't find photos of Space Gray aluminum with the standard SS link bracelet, but here are some photos of silver aluminum with the link bracelet:
The Space Gray case will look similarly dull next to standard SS link bracelet.

Thanks for this. This combo looks ok but just doesn't seem right. I guess the space grey would be similar but different
The biggest problem is more with the finishes. Dull finish looks bad next to shiny finish. Different enough colors are better, but you'll still have the problem with matte (namely dull) Space Gray next to more shiny SS link bracelet.
Honestly, it makes no sense to spend more on the link bracelet than the watch. Go big or go home.
Highly doubt that version 2 is announced in less than twelve months, and this combo would look terrible.
Yeah, that doesn't look great. Not so much the finish itself, but the darker, more 'metal-y' colour (if that makes sense).
The polished steel connectors definitely match better, though still aren't perfect. Leather loop is the only real non-Sport band to go for with a Sport watch.
It's not a good idea to mix aluminium and stainless steel due to galvanic or bimetal corrosion.
Bad idea to rely on renders.
From website you get this (which actually looks good):
From real-life photo you get this (looks bad):
OK - thanks for your help guys.
In the end i ordered the 42mm SS WSB now 2 days ago, and it will deliver tomorrow. (Cant believe how quick that is) I don't want the white sports band so i will swap within 14days for the black band. I will purchase the link bracelet separately or perhaps there might be some cheaper 3rd party alternatives by then.
