Looks fine. No red flag

Good morning lovelies! :flowers:

I purchased this velo pre-loved and I am no expert on newer bals... but it feels and looks "off" to me. The long strap is over 2 inches longer than the strap on my G tag 2014 black classic velo and the front outside pocket is 2 to 3 inches shallower (my phone sticks out of the pocket with this one and in my other velo it doesn't stick out at all.) The front of the zipper with the $ seems sloppily cast compared to that of my black velo. The tassels are thicker and more foamy feeling (if that makes any sense.) The color seems to match with the tag and season (F/W 2015 Vert Veronese) from what I can tell, but something just doesn't seem right.
Sorry for the novel... here are the pics. Thanks in advance for your help, I really appreciate it! :heart:View attachment 4046536 View attachment 4046537 View attachment 4046538 View attachment 4046539 View attachment 4046540 View attachment 4046541 View attachment 4046542 View attachment 4046543 View attachment 4046544 View attachment 4046545
 
This bag is listed for sale from a private seller.

I’ve requested pics of the bale and rivet but here’s what I have so far. Is it worth waiting for the rivet pic as the tag just looks wrong to me.
Thanks!
