I've been wondering for a long time if a black Milanese on NT Ultra would be ok.

Just to follow up, after 10 days with the NT and 20 days with the Black, I prefer the Black Titanium Milanese. Just somehow looks better to me, even though the NT one looks great, too.

Also, the black one is more comfortable to wear somehow, I guess due to the DLC coating interacting with the skin. This is how I wear them and for the NT to not feel slightly loose, I have to tighten it a bit more, as you can see in the photo. This results in the NT band leaving marks on my wrist because it's strapped tighter, but when I wear the black one, I never get the feeling that it's even slightly loose or that the watch is tipping over the side of my wrist. The wear is truly effortless with the black, but not with the NT.
 
After changing to the Space Black Ultra 3, I have a lot of straps but somehow no Alpine - this colour is pretty good looking though
I did the same thing switching from the original Ultra, I have an orange strap but I wish it had the matching color.
 
Yes would never use the old straps with Natural titanium adaptors so I sold them. The Ocean bands are okay though 🙂
This is why my friend got his ultra 3 in natty after he upgraded his original Apple Watch Ultra.

And I agree ocean bands that are with natural titanium hardware isn’t as noticeable on black watches as the only part that is titanium is the buckle and the keeper.
