I bought one of these in Provincetown in 2011, and needed a new one in a larger size, so I purchased this one. Unfortunately, this one pales in comparison. The silver band is thinner and cheaper feeling, and the gold ball fastener feels less sturdy and I highly doubt it is actual gold as my old one was. This one is lopsided and the bracelet is off center. It is not fully rounded, and has a scratchy silver marking on the inside, which is irritating to the inside of my wrist. It is also very tacky to see that the trademark gold ball does not sit in the center of my wrist as it should due to poor manufacturing. I regret buying this.
