What is the best looking band? In person the Milanese was the 2nd favorite. The light Stone color on silver looks amazing.

It's all personal preference. I personally think the Milanese loop looks the best, but I know other people don't like it.
 
Was surprised to see that I liked the Milanese Loop the best! Will most likely get a SS 42 Milanese Loop and buy an extra Black Band
 
Lol at all the Milanese sunshine pumpers. It's not even close. Link is the best. Milanese is nice but it's a poor mans link to put it bluntly. If money wasn't involved my guess is most would choose link over Milanese.

I agree that the stainless steel link looks better, but there are two functional advantages for the milanese loop:

1. Weight. For the 42mm model, link is 75g and milanese is 41g (on top of the 42mm SS case's 50g weight).

2. Precise and easily adjustable fit. You can quickly change the Milanese to any fit you prefer. While you can add/remove links, it's obviously not as quick, and you don't have the same precision of fit.

Your nuts , it's clunky and goofy looking. I'm shocked the Milanese wasn't more expensive, I'd rather have the sport then the link, and I'm not being sarcastic.
 
I did forget about the link that band was really nice too. It actually rivals the stone and the milanese for me....but at $400+ I ruled it out.
