Space Grey Sport with other bands [MERGED]

Really want to have a look at both the brown leather bands, think the tan would look nice with the Space Grey. In renders everything looks good haha.
My issue with using a different color sports band with the space grey watch is that the pin won't match. I know it's a small thing, but I think it's very weird for a watch to not match...itself. It's one thing if your watch doesn't match your wedding ring, as you're not going to change your wedding ring. But for the watch to mismatch itself is not something I would ever consider. That's just me of course. IMO the only bands that look good on the SG Sport are the black sport band, and the black and to a lesser extent blue leather loops.
Anything other than those I'd just wait for a third party band or get an adapter to use your own band.

That is exactly what I ordered! I love green! But I didn't want the SS, I ordered the 38mm SG BSB & the green band! I'm sure I'll get the green band first so I'll be able to switch the bands immediately! Go Green! I can't wait to see it live either! I'll post a pic as soon as I can!
I ordered a pink. But cancelled. By the time I get it plenty of third-party bands will be available.
Still nobody with a SG/green band combination? Mixyourwatch is cool, but does not reflect the watch in real life contitions as those are only rendered images... Would love to see some real pictures
I really want to see the green or yellow with the space grey. Need to see the straps in person before I purchase any of them separately.
I was planning to get a Milanese loop to go with my SG Sports until I saw the pics in this thread. I think it looks terrible. (other opinions respected)
I would actually be a bit concerned about metal corrosion caused by dissimilar metals in combination with sweat and other moisture. Check out this chart for reference:
Hopefully, if corrosion is a real concern then Apple will quickly come out and tell people about it rather than wait until the aluminium starts to corrode.
I really do like the look of the blue and black leather loops and will certainly give them some consideration.
Someone said they expected Apple to release a space grey milanese loop within a month. I think this is highly unlikely to be honest as I believe it would be really difficult to manufacture and the flexible nature of the individual loops would, in my opinion, tend to wear off the coating. I could easily be wrong though...

I really hate to pay the $150, but love that blue leather on the SG sport. I might go look at it in person and make a decision. I might have to get it.
I called the Apple Store to confirm if they had any stock for apple bands and the rep told me the sport can only use the sport bands
There was a post on a different thread that said they will only let you try bands on watch cases that they sell together. Some stores were allowing anyone to swap bands to try it on. The only thing that won't go with the watches is 38 will not fit on 42. They sell s/s with sport bands so it makes sense they will work with all models. Once supply is plentiful Apple won't care.

They're wrong.
I'm just wondering if it has to do with the rumor that's floating around the the metals will corrode
Does anyone have a link to pics of the SG Sport with a white sport band? There was one on the forums somewhere but I cannot find it.
Has anyone tried the Brown or Stone color Leather Loop on a SG? They look cool on mixyourwatch.com, but you never know how things actually look in person. Looking to get one of those for "fancy time" and the black sports band the rest of the time.
To achieve corrosion of the two metals there would need to be a catalyst. Like water. So it could cause harm. I'd like to see the sg sport get a link band. Even if it's third party. I'm not a watch guy (yet?) and don't want to spend that much for the black s/s until I know it'll be used.
