This could just be a case of different lighting between my pic and the seller's pic, but WTF? I actually like the one I got more than the one pictured, but it almost looks like they shipped the wrong band. And for the grand total of $12 I have little cause for concern. Have any of you opened a band and been surprised at how different it looked in the picture from the sale page?

It's hard for me to tell but to me they look different. I had similar with a yellow one looking more green on eBay than in person.

In these two pictures the bands look closer to being the same as the band looks in person. Just posting those pics is leaning me towards them being the same, just crappy lighting in the seller's original listing.

The band looks legit but there are no markings anywhere. And for $12 I doubt it's OEM.
Here's the Original Listing.

Here is Pure Pure Platinum/White (left) and Flat Silver/White (right). The later does look a bit darker in some photos.

Here it is, in all it's glory. Personally I think a darker band looks better with a dark watch. This one will go into the storage case for now. Pretty good fit and finish for a $12 knockoff. I bet it would look killer on a white ceramic Apple Watch though.
