The Milanese looks much better in these latest videos.
It seems like everyone swaps between wearing the loop at the top and bottom though. Which way around do you prefer?

The Milanese loop per se is not feminine, it is unisex.
However, I think the watch body itself is not extremely masculine and the mesh of the milanese is just a tiny bit too small making the combo lean more towards feminine I think.
I wish there was an option with a bigger mesh.

Well, I'm getting the Milanese loop, and I'm as manly as they come. 6'7" 315lb all muscle, 100% certified hunk
I'm getting Milanease loop.
Im 5'10" 200lbs of solid muscle, 100% certified hunk also.
After watching some of the reviews, it appears that the Milanese Loop magnet looks pretty strong which is my number one concern, but the reviews eased my concern.
I most say that look pretty good. That would go really nice for a formal occasions, when I may need pull the suit out.
I think I'm out and going SS Sport. I'm not sure enough to justify £80/$118 extra for Milanese.
I just had a thought with the magnet.
Given the magnet is likely to be in close proximity to things like work badges and credit cards, surely this watch is like to cause some magnetic data erasure with a magnet on the bottom of your wrist?

This was discussed in another post. I think they decided that it would have to be a lot more powerful to mess up credit cards or badges. Hotel keys are a different story though. Reasons behind it were card that are rewritten are different than a CC or badge that is written permanently.

Can someone post some last min pics showing the Milanese loop on wrists from the reviews that show if it is too thin. I have my doubts but this is the band that I want. I would just like to be a bit more sure before the time comes.
The whole "loop" thing I think is going to keep me away. I don't like how it's connected to one lug and effectively twice as thick at the other lug because of the way it wraps around. I think that's going to make it feel unbalanced when I'm wearing it. I love mesh bracelets (I have a couple of solid gold ones on my Omega and Patek watches), but I'll likely go with the SS link.
I really want to milanese loop, but I'm afraid it won't go well with the Stainless Steel Space Grey. Do you guys agree?
Considering it's a fashion accessory, yes, it's actually important. Do you show up to a first date wearing dirty sweatpants?
I got to try on the Milanese Loop last night and my wrist is 210mm, Apple says the Milanese Loop fits a wrist of 200mm and it fit my wrist just fine, I was even able to loosen it up if I wanted to.
For the pre-order I was to worried about it not fitting so I order the SS sport band, which is fine but I already placed my order for the Milanese loop that won't ship until June

I noticed that among bands the 42 milanese is the only one showing June shipping dates.
I think a lot of people liked it during try on appointments and ordered the extra bands.
I was one of them. Although i am glad i got a may shipping day. If i had waited it would have been another month.
