timewalker - help w/ authenticity
Hi all, i have been following the forum for a while, but this is my first post !
I've been a Montblanc fountain pen collector for a while now, and I was thinking of getting a watch to keep my fountain pens on time
I really like the timewalker chrono - i am considering buying the timewalker below from an online seller, but I am a little bit unsure of its authenticity (i can tell fake fountain pens pretty easily, but i have no frame of reference when it comes to watches)... can some of the more experienced timewalker owners please tell me their opinions, or point me towards any online resources dealing with this matter?...
Merci!

Thanks Mike, found the seller through craig's list, but visiting a MB dealer / boutique sounds like a good idea - I've been looking at the seller's pictures and comparing them with pictures on this forum and on Mont Blanc's site, and one things looks pecu...
Nice collection! Different angles will cause distortions
the hands are pretty small so how the seller takes his/her photos may cause the change in hand sizes you are detecting. Always safe to go to a dealer and compare. Best, Mike

It looks..
....like the real deal to me but I do agree with Stewart and Mike, use caution and do whatever research you can before buying.....I just bought a MB Timewalker about a month ago...good choice! And Mike is that your wedding ring? Christina
Buying MB watches online
I don´t recommend buying any of Montblanc watches online. There are many, many fakes.
Hi Karina, Welcome to the Montblanc forum! Your advice is very, very good
there are a lot of replicas of Montblanc watches online... I've seen some of the newest models are being copied. That is how popular Montblanc is! Best, Mike
Jeez...I bought mine online....it looks...
Jeez...I bought mine online....it looks pretty real though...should I question its authenticity? Christina
It's a strange and unfortunate type of validation
I thought I was pretty safe with F.P.Journe. Who would bother producing replicas of watches with such low production numbers. But they are out there. It's a strange world. A
