This is for those of you doubting that the Milanese Loop can be colored. Marc Newson (who's now with Apple) once designed the Milanese bracelet in various colors for Ikepod.

Notice this is a bracelet rather than a loop (as gold isn't magnetic and hence can't fold on itself).

The gold option is available now aftermarket (the guy says he can do a black chrome of some kind, but I don't see a pic): http://watchplate.com
 
Does the "coating" that is being done to change the color of this band reduce the effectiveness of the magnet closure?
