I just can't decide between the two.

The money saving with the Milanese would be a bonus but I can manage either.

Which would you go for and why?
 
I would go for the Milanese because its cheaper, and looks like it would feel nicer on the wrist.
 
The Milanese is lighter and more breathable on the skin. They both look good.The cost difference is not huge, given the total cost of the watch+band, but I'm going with the Milanese.
 
If money were no object, I'd definitely go with the link bracelet. IMO it looks better and it's more secure (living in Japan, in not worried about theft so much as bumping people on trains and in train stations. Happens all the time)

That said, I'm getting the Milanese plus a black sports band instead. Don't really want to have to deal with my wife being pissed off that I bought a $500 watch band :)
 
After wearing Skagen for a while, I am set on Milanese loop. And it is cheaper , save the rest for AW2.0.

Now biggest question is to get 38MM or 42MM, since i am not sure where the magnetic clasp will end up - Will it wrap it all the way around if i get a bigger one or will it be too short if i get a smaller one.
 
As a male, I'd go link, Milanese for me suits a female better.
