Like, it's easy to tell that they weren't made at the same time by the same production process.

Or is your impression in real life different?
Ah, interesting observation. Right after reading this I went out on an errand and looked at the watch in daylight (or what passes for daylight this time of year around The Great Lakes). I don't get the sense the bracelet's steel itself is a different shade than the case. I would chalk it up to the satin finish on the bracelet, and I think you're correct that the lighting and exposure settings chosen by my iPhone exaggerate it.

It'll be interesting to hear what other members here think about this after they receive their bracelets.
