I think it's okay.

The problem (and why I didn't respond sooner) is that these items are so closely faked, especially many coming out of Japan, that it's hard to authenticate them. And because benjamiwes_41's listing has a title and item specifics that appear to have been copied from Japanese sellers' listings as well as minimal definitive pictures, I am skeptical.

Since you have the item in hand and can examine it for quality, you are in a better position to gauge the quality.

I'd like @houseof999 to give her opinion.

Hi all~

I appreciate your help in authenticating this Coach Watson bag. The creed is very difficult to read, but I can see the J5D prefix somewhat clearly (see photos). This bag has a 26" strap drop and measures approximately 7.5" x 6" x 3". I believe I bought this at a garage sale a few years ago.

Thank you for your assistance!

I suspect the reason why you aren't getting a reply is because we can't read the creed well enough.

If you can get a better picture of the creed and serial number, possibly editing the "definitiion" or by using eye shadow or another powder on the creed, it might help.
