Photograph the item and protective packing separately from the label. Remove names, addresses, barcodes and tracking tokens from public images while keeping originals privately.
First, a clarifying question: how many links are on each side of the clasp right now? Fit often improves by moving one link from the 6 o'clock side to the 12 o'clock side, or the reverse. That doesn't change length, but it shifts where the clasp sits under the wrist, and a centred clasp feels less tight.

Start with function, legibility, assembly and clear visible damage. Explain what the full-size image shows, what the crop adds and what remains uncertain; do not turn an overlay into an automatic verdict.
Case 2 — Lume comparison: keep exposure and charging conditions consistent
