Black Milanese Loop ate my screen :(

I just tested the Graphite Milanese Loop but I did not quite like how rough it felt. It was very rough feeling against my skin and constantly pulling hair. Interesting that Silver one did not do either. Also felt much harder to slide it through the loop part when putting on or taking off, again something that was completely smooth on Silver one.

Then I noticed Graphite was very abrasive, it basically scratch everything it touches, so tables and all other surfaces are in danger even the watch itself was pretty easy to protect with care when putting it on or taking it off. For some reason Graphite surface felt weird like some residue coming off but could be just from abrasive material it is made of.

Also Graphite color was not precise match for Space Grey aluminum, looked pretty nice match at first glance from the distance but up close it was not even close. It was actually really dull combination IMHO even I'm usually matching color type of guy. So I'm kinda drawn to flashy Silver even it is not matching the Space Grey in any way but I guess that flashy non matching color makes it nice and it really stands out.

Anyone else preferring the Silver Milanease Loop with the Space Grey watch? I took couple photos but they really do not show the difference as well as it looks in real life.

Just in case anyone wondering how Graphite vs Silver Milanese loop with Space Grey Aluminium watch look like there is some photos. Anyway photos really do not do justice how sparkling Silver one looks in real life. Also you can see that Graphite lugs don't really match SG but it still nicely blends in some angles and light, however I definitely like more how Silver one really stands out.

I’ve had the graphite ml for about 2 weeks now! Still hasn’t attacked my watch yet!

Honestly after testing Graphite ML myself, I'd say the watch is in least danger of getting hurt by ML if being careful while putting it on and off the wrist. But everything else is in danger from it touching. I noticed it basically kills anything it touch, I already sratched glass table when my wrist accidently touched it. Anyway beside that I did not like how Graphite loop felt against my wrist, it was so much more rough/abrasive feeling than Silver one. Even I don't have very hairy wrists Graphite one was pulling hair while Silver one never does that.
Also simply sliding it through the loop when putting on or off the wrist seemed less fluid in Graphite.

Also I actually preferred the look of Silver ML with my Space Grey aluminium AW over Graphite ML.
