updates on my 1' L114.
i kept took over it abt 4yrs back and it was about 7".
when i brought it back, the black has already "eat" into the orange finage. of coz, 4yrs later, the orange finage is still there, but the colour is not as vibrant as before. also, the orange surface area is smaller as well.
