I loved it at my try on and it felt wonderful. I think it would be worth it, it's just too flashy for me. I'm a jeans and tshirt kinda guy, so sport or leather bands are my thing.
Got a tip for us?

Milanese Loop, Worth it?

I feel like it is just a play on typical metal bands. I wear jeans and shirts all the time and it fits well. Dress it up with a polo or something
Have the 38mm SS with classic band. Love it. But when the Modern Band wasn't available I decided to try the ML....love it ..Use it all the time ... Looks great, comfortable just love it . Mod Band is no longer of interest !!! I also added a Spigen a Tough Armour in black ... Just looks great.
I decided to give the Milanese a try, but I have to say it's not for me. Yes, it's comfortable on my wrist, but when I'm putting it on, or when I brush against it with my fingers or my other hand/arm, it just feels abrasive, and I don't like it. I wish the leather loop was an option for the 38, as I really like the idea of an infinitely adjustable band, but metal band just isn't for me.
I have the Milanese strap and am extremely happy, my other watches have a metal strap and find it not as easy to put on a threaded strap without holding down the watch on something, as in my way of putting it, I lasso my left hand with the right and just pull tight.
