Are these colors just a new marketish way to name the same? I always had space black stainless steel watches and all my bands match that color. I would be very disappointed if I get the series 6 graphite and the color is not the same.
Got a tip for us?

They wouldn't just remove a colour and replace it with a completely different one, it will be almost identicle i am sure. Apple knows the spack black was a big hit.
The SSSB was virtually scratch proof because of the DLC coating. Does the Graphite Grey have the DLC coating as well?
It should, as it’s not the natural color of stainless Steele
I’ve ordered on the basis the bands will be ok although I’m sure there will be a subtle difference in colour otherwise they would keep the name as they have for the Hermes.
i hope so .... sounds good ... I was very tempted by the new blue Aluminium but not practical for me. My S5 SBSS has been the perfect Watch for every scenario for me.
I hope it's different as I just ordered a graphite Milanese loop for it and I only bought a black one just over two weeks ago!

I believe it’s a vapor deposition like the gold color, so it is not scratch proof.
From the press release:
. Stainless steel models are now available in graphite — a rich gray-black hue with a striking high-shine finish — and an updated classic yellow gold color.
Gray-black hue, not gray-blue. So quite similar to the space black (actually I always thought that the space black is a kind of dark grey)

What does it say about the space black Stainless Steel hermes? Is that a rick black hue or something similar to the graphite?
I'm very disappointed if they removed the space black as well (in addition to the minimal upgrades). Looks identical to the Hermes in my opinion but why change the name? I look forward to the photo comparison when unboxed.
