The listing clearly shows something very close to the original, what arrived was clearly a poor clone, not even the same shape or size!
In fact it's not even the size specified in the listing (which would be correct) but only about a three-quarters version.


As opposed to the picture in the eBay listing, which looks correct:

Refund/return via eBay is the "order of the day".

Just wondering, is the D3 S8 badge smaller, could that be what was sent in "genuine" error?
