Maybe it’s the angle and lighting because Space Black is actually black on my wrist. That looks like Space Gray almost.

That's good. Perhaps they are making the Milanese loop using PVC now so that it doesn't scratch the screen like previous versions?
I wanted to try the Milanese loop but, the known issue of scratching has kept me away. It would be nice to know they solved the problem. I would buy if that were the case.That's good.

I think that this feature is less important with an AOD. Owning a SBSSS4 myself, the monolithic look (which I also like) is significantly reduced when the watch face comes on. Of course, when you intend to switch off AOD ...I'm pretty sure that the new "Graphite" colour will simply NOT have the marvellous effect of the SS Space Black color version - that is, optically melting the display with the housing and making the watch appear as one single monolithic, black object.

If that theory holds water, I suppose we will see some anecdotal evidence very shortly on the forum. I would hate to scratch a new $900 watch. LolI think this is perhaps part of the reason for the change. My theory is that a PVD band is less likely to scratch a DLC Watch.

Series 5 Stainless Steel Black vs Series 6 Stainless Steel Graphite
I agree but I kind of like how it looks more like metal now ? I wish you could just choose a casing, your own band and charge accordingly.Massive difference. Doesn’t even come close to that space black![]()

Here’s a video I found with someone that got the Graphite Color.
For real 😳 why he finger it up like that 😭Jesus, the guy must have eaten a bag of potato chips before he made the video.
OK, that definitely rules out SS Graphite for me.

You can get the stainless steel black still. Just unfortunately have to get the Hermès model.OK, that definitely rules out SS Graphite for me.
Don't get me wrong, it seems to be a nice color option - if there had never been a SS Space Black.
The Space Black is a mighty colour (melting display and casing optically together) - graphite is just "ok".
What a shame.

If I didn’t own a SB link bracelet I’d be more open.I know plenty of people here are missing the SBSS, but I've owned that model since the S3 and to me, this new Graphite model looks amazing and is a welcome change. Honestly couldn’t be happier with it, it’s gorgeous.

Photos I’ve seen of the GraphiteSS with SB LB were not my taste.
I’m glad you’re happy though.
