Hello,

can anyone help me, did a Montblanc Set like this ever exist or is it a fake??



Thanks a lot for every answer.

I don't think Montblanc sells sets. If you ask me, I think that watch looks really fake!
But I don't know that much. More pictures might help.

These "sets" are not available in the US market, and both the wallet and the watch are completely unrecognizable as real Montblanc products.

For the US market, Montblanc leather goods do not use that kind of knobby texturing - they have a smooth leather, a slightly textured leather, and a genuine crocodile.

The "almost" Starwalker pen and keychain may have genuine Montblanc parts. The "almost" Starwalker pen seems to be missing its crystal dome on the top of the cap.

The "almost" Starwalker keychain is missing the same crystal dome - though Montblanc does make a Starwalker keychain that otherwise looks very similar to this piece.

My vote - the set is a fake - and each component of the set is fake.

Sorry. I am aware that Montblanc makes some products not available in the US - but most of these are specially designed with Asian themes for Far East markets. If you also have doubts, take the stuff (or the photo) to a Montblanc Boutique.

I agree with the above posted and just wanted to add, that both the MB star and the engaved text on the wallet certainly look, and probably are, very fake indeed!

Cheers...

I don't think the dome is actually missing on those two items (at least I don't think it is). I think the flash and the white background made it sorta hard to see in the picture. If the dome is missing on the pen, dead giveaway for being a fake.
