Fake Meisterstuck 163?

[chunya]

Excellent, but not 'surprising', news.

Lets hope the seller is suitably punished (especially for their unreasonable demands in trying to wriggle out) and doesn't just disappear to reappear again under another tag.

So, is it a sure thing that the serial number IW1666858 always means a fake Montblanc? It certainly reappears often, but not all instances (ballpoints, mostly) seem fakes. Montblanc, I understand, sometimes recycles numbers.
