Graphite SS Series 6 with Silver Milanese Loop?

I don't have the Graphite SS watch but I have the Space Grey Aluminium with the silver Milanese Loop and it looks great, kinda shiny and it really stands out. I had also Graphite Milanese Loop but I did not like the way it felt (very abrasive and rough against the skin, it was constantly pulling hair and it was practically destroying (scratching) everything it touched) plus it looked very dull and discreet. BTW. Silver one does not have either of the mentioned issues, it is so much smoother in every way.
Here is some photos of both loops but photos really do not do justice to how sparkling Silver one looks in real life.

That's what I thought too until I saw them both myself.
Of course this is matter of personal opinion but IMHO Graphite ML with Space Grey AW looked dull and something that go unnoticed, while Silver ML with SG AW is absolutely gorgeous looking combination and photos do not really do the justice how great it looks IRL.
If it had black lugs, maybe. With silver lugs - no. I had the first version steel with silver milanese loop and just try to imagine the looks with a black loop. Strange contrast...
I actually own an aftermarket band with black lugs and tried to attach it to my actual SS watch a couple of times. It is not working. It looks like "there was no other band available..."

That's what I thought too until I tried them both myself. Actually Silver lugs with SG AW makes it even more gorgeous and definitely something done purposely. Also the fact that Graphite ML with SG AW already has different color, so that is not 100% match either and looks worse. Sure with SS Graphite AW and Graphite ML there is not this problem but still dull combination IMHO. Anyway, I already have Black Leather Loop for my AW I can wear when I want discreet look, honestly Graphite ML did look about as dull. I was really stunned by this until I tried it myself.
Again, that's what I thought too until I tried it myself.
Plus there is the fact that original Graphite ML has abrasive coating, it practically destroyed everything it touched was one thing I considered too. Probably better idea of getting some 3rd party loop as they seem to have softer color coating in them unless being extra careful while wearing it.
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Anyway for me SG watch with Silver ML looks great and definitely something done purposely. I did not believe this until I tried them both, so anyone considering these two I suggest to try them both.
