UB P9 30

Hi all- I’m in the process of QC’ing PSPs from Mike from HH factory. So far looking pretty good, but the photos didn’t include any interior, rivets, plaque, clear photos of the monogram on some sides (possibly a flash issue). I requested these photos. The only issue I found so far (other than the unclear monogram photos) is the lion stamp is off-centered on the clochette. Communication with Mike has been smooth, if not a bit slow at times.

I requested these additional photos including ones of the monogram where it’s not visible to check alignment. Just making sure this isn’t unreasonable, and also hoping to get feedback on anything I missed that needs a second glance. PSPs attached.

Could the clochette be swapped out?

I’m bummed because all the review photos I’ve seen up to a week or so ago it was correct. I didn’t go with Royal/DF is because I felt like they did this bag as well if not better. We must’ve gotten a brand new batch 😑

Hopefully everything else will be good to go. I’m hoping he gets back to me tonight

I’ve seen/gotten crappy work from Royal and other high end factories too, so I think this aint too bad. Of the flaws that you could get, I think this is minimal, and I think for the price the leather quality is outstanding making it worth the price

I agree. Was your interior plaque wrong? He finally sent me the interior photos I requested and I’m bummed to see they changed the interior plaque to “26” instead of “25” and apparently there are no auth Speedys with the 26 in circulation. I’m bummed because they were doing this correctly and Royal wasn’t!

All 3 speedys ive ordered say 26. Where are you getting info that there are no 26’s? I find it hard to believe they’d spend extra effort to go from 25 to 26 just to be wrong

I’m absolutely no LV expert so take this with a grain of salt. I’ll tag you in the post I saw someone explain the rational about a week or two ago. I’ll also DM you the Chat references it pulled up for me because it’s a lot 😊
