What is really odd is the fact that both take the same cartridges. That means they write exactly the same. So its like my Rolex, it tells time just like a Timex does. Something to think about when you are blowing your cash on items. Exactly what are you getting for the difference in funds? Actually not much.
Good video. Also the box shows the montblanc logo with the star in black color. As far as I know, montblanc aways displays their star in white or just outlined when printed on a while background.
Really helpful video. I just picked up a Le Petit Prince pen and I had a hunch it was a fake when I got it. Weight was way off compared to the listed weight on the MB website and it just didn't seem quite as good as I would expect. The spring wasn't secured, nor was the ink. Plus the pocket clip seemed badly made without a truly smooth edge. Thank god for PayPal money back guarantee.
"you can see" while the camera is not focused, you've to do it manually and in a better lighting "No screws or anything" means no springs Nonetheless this was a very informative video ! Thank you !!
Available if you look closely on Aliexpress for a few pounds. I got a couple of ballpoints the same as my real Montblanc which I use out and about. Use the Montblanc cartridges so write well , weigh the same and I don't care if they're lost/stolen. Copies are virtually identical.
FYI… I purchased two Montblanc pens (146 and 145) from an authorized dealer called Montblanc Houston in The Galleria. The comment on this video regarding the flashlight isn’t accurate. When you flash the light through the pen it glows a “red wine” color, which is the precious resin. Perhaps your Montblanc rollerball is an older model prior to the resin.
What you bought is a type 3 fake, very poor quality. I bought a type 1 and started to get confused with which was my real pen! I had to check the serial number against the book for the top and the bottom inside was identical but the original rollerball has a small square black sticker with a Mont Blanc logo hologram and number on it. I noticed that your does not have the hologram!
There are lots of retailers online that are up front about the fact that they are knock-offs and you only pay a fraction of the cost. As long as I wasn't being duped and charged the Mont Blanc price, I would totally buy a replica one.
No clue what type 1 and 3 mean, but I did a Google search and found nothing about it. Anyway, no idea why the hologram isn't on there, I purchased this pen pre-owned (but not used) because it is limited-edition and out of production, but I took it to the MB Store in Beverly Hills for authentication. Thanks for the comment!
I'm asking why you think the pen is fake? I was saying that any time I sell a montblanc, I make sure to, before I ship, get a letter from montblanc certifying that it is authentic-- to stop unscrupulous sellers from saying it is fake. You're going to need a letter from MB stating it is FAKE to prove it-- because of the idiots who have scammed sellers. It just makes it harder for buyers to protect themselves!
Is there a list with Authorized Retailers? 'cause I am looking for a real pen and I don't know where to get it from, there are so many websites and the prices are so different...I am such in a big doubt..
Where is the best place to purchase a Montblanc roller ball pen today. I need to purchase 4 pens for gifts. Looking for the lowest price possible. Thank you in advance for your help.
Ah gotcha. Yah you might need to get it sent to the service center. Any pens that I sell I make sure to get an official letter with the serial number... just to be safe.
I was looking at one on ebay for $300 they retail for like $550. I wrote the guy he said its genuine...LOL! So I am figuring I have his email. You know the saying if a deal is too good to be true? But I am thinking with PayPal protection and credit card purchase protection it should be a no risk purchase. I know there should be a serial number on the band. Was going to take it to a store for authentication immediately when I got it before I paid the credit card. The seller got all good ratings. What did you have to go through to have PayPal settle it?
Nice video you got a like from me anyways.. I have a question for you, I received 2 starwalker ballpoint pens (different designs) from my grandmother as a gift, they've never been used by me and they came in a box for two. I have no use for them and the money could be better spent some other way, what I'm wondering is how do I go about selling these, and do you have any rough estimate for their value? Would really appreciate a response, Thanks!
Please, at least pronounce the brand name correctly. MontBlanc is pronounced Mon + Blan. The T and the C are silenced. And it means white mountain. So the white star isn't a white star but a mountain top. The easiest way to spot a fake is by the color of the logo. Fakes are ALWAYS grayish a bit compared to the immaculate original white. Thanks
If you’re gonna get a rollerball just get a cheap plastic one. Don’t waste your money on a Montblanc if it’s gonna give you the same writing experience as a 2 dollar pen (no disrespect to the 2 dollar pens though)
I'm so very confused with mine, as it was a gift. In regards to the box it matches the fake one, although the actual pen is the same as the real one. I really can't identify if it's real or not, perhaps i'll go to the MontBlanc store instead, as I do own genuine pens from them.
Thanks a bunch. Because of you I will never own a Mont Blank pen. I would actually give money to help remove your egocentric video. You also might want to look over your camera. If is says Carl Zeiss anywhere near the lens you got ripped.
If your camera remained focused half the time it would have been great
I love their pens, you may need to spend a little Mont Blanc money on a camera.....respectfully!

Real valuable information. Other videos I came across just had basic info.
i just recently bought a used montblanc,very useful info from you.i have a original montblanc.
Available if you look closely on Aliexpress for a few pounds.
I got a couple of ballpoints the same as my real Montblanc which I use out and about. Use the Montblanc cartridges so write well , weigh the same and I don't care if they're lost/stolen.
Copies are virtually identical.

the information is great but the production value is a bit low.

Thanks for the comment!
I just took it in and did an informal one with the sales people and repair team. They also looked up the serial number.
Why do you need a letter?
Hey, not sure about the red part. Just checked it on one I got from their site and it had it. Thoughts?
Thank you for making this extremely informative video. I was entirely drawn in by the time you got to the pen itself.
If you've paid more than a few bucks for any pen, regardless if its an actual Mont Blanc or a Mel Blanc, you've been scammed...
Thanks for the video! Very good points!
Very Informative. Thanks!

I can't tell anything from this blurry shit.
Out of interest does the fake pen fit the real cap?
Is there a list with Authorized Retailers? 'cause I am looking for a real pen and I don't know where to get it from, there are so many websites and the prices are so different...I am such in a big doubt..
Good inforamtion, very poor quality video. Not in focus.
Where is the best place to purchase a Montblanc roller ball pen today. I need to purchase 4 pens for gifts. Looking for the lowest price possible.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Focus... Jeez
What about the fact that it says "Writing In Struments" on booklet - bit more obvious than the mis-spelling on the back inside cover!
Damn I think I got scammed

I bought my fake in Thailand for 9.00 us. Now I can tell how it's a fake. Thanks.
Does it work well and does it look good? Then you got a good deal! lol
Good info, just bought Montblanc Classique Meisterstuck Bordeaux Burgundy Ballpoint Pen 164R on ebay or good price, hope it genuine
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH US.

very helpful, thanx
300 dollars for a pen fuck that. Give me the fake shit that can use their ink.
Thanks for video!
Meh. I don't really care if I have a fake one. The real ones are too expensive
Thanks
thanks for useful information
Why on earth did you buy a fake?
$500 USD European made pen vs $10 Asian knockoff. Getting pretty close to the real thing....
In 2024 they improved in all these aspects
Thanks.
Focus!
OMG please let it focus! got a headache watching it!! otherwise very informative so thank you.
Nice, THX!
Your camera is also "Fake".
Serves you right...stop being so damn cheap and go to the boutique! Everybody wants prestige, but don't want to pay...I have no sympathy for you!
,,,,,,,, omg,,,, learn to focus!
cool video man, but you have to focus the video better.
Very poor focus. You do excellent work but we can’t see.
Check it before posting - simple
I'm sorry :-(
I need to get a new camera... hah!!
Belisimoo
Email meisterstuck with serial number
ok good mine is real :D
Not informative
Thanks a bunch. Because of you I will never own a Mont Blank pen. I would actually give money to help remove your egocentric video. You also might want to look over your camera. If is says Carl Zeiss anywhere near the lens you got ripped.
LOL, some cameras are very slow in changing focus, you have to use the shutter button to do it quicker
