Maybe I need to break out my calipers and measure...

From the back they do look to be the same width

Brand new from ad, i peeled off the stickers
The brush looks perfect.

i agree though i would have thought it was the bevelled lugs which make it look this way, i noticed the same thing with my watch.

Not idealistic just trying to help the OP with his lugitis. This link shows the differences. To suggest a new with stickers is overpolished underscores this obsession some people have with micro millimeters and blowing up photos poster size in high def.
"lugitis is defined as an obsession one has with the size and texture of ones lugs" Lugitis has become epidemic with the intro of the super case aka big lugs.

Brush seems fine, what are you viewing it on? Most brush finishes are different today than pre 2008.

Viewing on my 5k monitor. As long as it's OK in real life. To me it looks wrong but what it really looks like is all that matters.
