PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING
**I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color,just so you're not shocked, nor disappointed when you get the piece. I find photographing anything with 'yellow' in it, (orange, & green in particular) can come up a little more vivid & I actually have to bring the saturation down in the editing with these colors, so they are close to being true in color.

So you see all the fine detail, close up photos tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are let down since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big this is, please either check it out on the wrist to get a rough idea (photo 2 ) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements
