i took a chance that this band would match my watch and i got lucky.  it is a match, so the color represented by the photo was accurate.  my only complaint is it did not come with the pins to attach it to the watch as the other one i ordered elsewhere did.  i assumed that was standard practice. it cost me and additional $10 and an extra trip to the jeweler for that.  maybe that was stated somewhere and i missed it.  that was the disappointment.  service was fast.
