Some help identifying an MB watch

[Bryant]

Hope this is ok posting this, even though its not a pen...

 

Here are some pics of a MB watch I just got. I can’t tell what kind of MB watch it is, unless it’s just an automatic...It does not say meisterstuck or anything else that would help. I was going to take it to a MB boutique, but the closest one is a few hours away, so it won’t be for quite some time.

Does anyone here have knowledge of Montblanc watches?

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Bryant

PS as you can tell the watch is huge, here its next to my MB 149. Thing has some weight too!

Hello Bryant...

 

Well, the problem is that this appears to be a 'replica'. The Montblanc model they are attempting to replicate is the Montblanc Sport Steel (I have one version on my wrist as I write). The issue is that I have never seen this particular watch face configuration on a Montblanc Sport Steel watch, not to mention it doesn't mention its water resistance rating on the face either (most dive-rated watches tend to do this for bravado reasons), the Montblanc branding is completely different than anything I've seen, the bezel looks too 'big' for the casing, and I can't see a serial number on the back of the watch

 

Now, I am by no means a definitive answer, but I would certainly question the seller you purchased this from. Better yet, you can contact Montblanc with the serial number if it is on the caseback and have it checked for authenticity -- they should also be able to tell you the model of the watch if it is legit.

 

Please, let me know if this does turn out to be legitimate since I'd like to know what the model and year is in that case.

 

Hope it helps...cheers!

I am going to contact MB today, and I will let you know... There is a serial number, its hard to see it on the picture, but its on the top. I hope its not a replica, it cost me a pretty penny (For me it was a lot)

I concur. This looks to be a knock off.

The movement does not look like an ETA movement. The sport series have the bezel like yours, the watch in your picture is trying to look like this one:

Here are all the models:

Hopefully you can return it for a refund.
