Earlier today I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade from my S3 SS. I’ve been looking at the S5 for ages, but the price put me off. I was browsing on eBay today and saw one for £560 BIN, so I bought it! It’s coming next week :)
 
Curious why you got the Aluminum if you already own a SS?
Here is the Stainless Steel and Aluminum with the Stainless link bracelet. Personally I’m not digging the bracelet on the Aluminum.

I much prefer it with the SG aluminium, From the photos to me it’s a better match.

Personally, I think the titanium edition would look best with that band as they both have brushes finishes and are of similar shades.
I have to agree, I think the natural titanium would be the best fit for the bracelet. I think I'm going to end-up polishing the bracelet so it matches the SS almost exactly.
 
You can buy different colored lugs online but, the lugs on your watch must be removable. Unfortunately not possible with buckles.
 
Thanks for the time and effort in putting together the photos. You’ve saved me a couple of hundred bucks by not buying the link bracelet. Not digging it with the aluminum model.
No problem, in person (it's hard to describe) but it almost makes the aluminum watch look plastic.
 
Got 3 scratches on my Nike series 5

Tempted to get another SS now...as least it’s more scratch proof and looks nice at work and going out..rolling with two watches though
