Milanese band

[younso]

Could anyone that has the blue AW6 with the Apple Milanese graphite band post a picture? I have a blue metal band (https://www.itslaut.eu/products/steel-loop-watch-strap-for-apple-watch?variant=39404330680381) but I think that even after only 6 months of use the colour is disappearing and scratches can be seen. Are there any suggested alternatives to the Milanse band?

I don't have access to a pic right now, but my wife has the OEM Milanese graphite band on her blue Series 6 and the band has held up very well. In fact, she's had it since the Series 4.

The Series 4 would’ve been the Space Black Milanese Loop, which had a tougher DLC finish.

The OEM Milanese loops in general are very durable but if the OP wants the most durable (and darker color) then finding a Space Black Milanese loop might be best; they tend to cost around the same as the new ones if looking for new-in-box condition so it won’t be much of a deal though. Still available on eBay and the such, at least.

Here’s my Space Black Milanese Loop (also from my old Series 4) on a Space Black case:

Nice .
I have found a few black ones on Ebay like this one in Germany as I live in Europe (https://www.ebay.com/itm/384856675404?epid=27025579804&hash=item599b3ed44c:g:PgIAAOSwNUFiZ~fY). The colour would be better with my blue AW6 and better material then?

Looks good. I’m not sure how to check for better deals on that side of the ocean but that’s not a bad price from what I can tell and the buyer feedback for that item is good.
