A Pearl River piano will convey the notes, but a Bosendorfer will convey emotion. A quartz Timex will keep more accurate time, but a Patek Philippe will persist beyond time. Sure, the pair of Kenneth Coles may keep your feet dry, but the John Lobbs will carry you through the storms of life. I promise that buying luxury goods from manufacturers that are dedicated to their craft is a worthwhile endeavor.

Luxury is about quality products that will last a lifetime. Montblanc makes a wonderful product that is worth every penny. Luxury goods charge a premium for quality. Designer goods charge a premium for a name. I know prices for high-end items may seem unjustified, and in many cases this is true. I am a poor graduate student, and saved up longer than I care to admit for my pen. You have my gratitude for not buying a fake. Take any purchased pens to a Montblanc boutique and compare against a known authentic pen.

If your pen has this serial number, it is not authentic.īe cautious, and always have the seller guarantee authenticity.


Further, the pen came with an authentic box, CD and converter. The fake from Ebay was ~$300, so the price didn't scream fraud. This is a comparison of the fake Montblanc Chopin I bought from Ebay, versus a real Montblanc Chopin I purchased from a Brick and Mortar store.
