The ⌚ was shipped some days before the planned date from New York City, USA. In the shipping 📦, the sender is marked as Massdrop... so it may be hard for me to determine who was the actual seller of this watch.
The package came reasonably well protected and the Montblanc box had no damage at all.
The watch comes in a brand 🆕️ condition, meaning that the ⌚ is covered by stickers to protect it, just like it happens when I've bought brand new watches before with AD.
The Montblanc 📦 seems to be the correct for this watch but I'm not sure if Montblanc has bigger boxes depending on the model. I received the 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ hours brochure alongside the user guide for several movements from Montblanc. This user guide seems to be the correct one, because when I tried to download a digital copy from Montblanc, my caliber is not listed there. But my caliber is listed on the printed user guide I received.
The warranty card is not filled at all (blank card). I was expecting this because we all know this is gray market. However I appreciate that I indeed got the warranty card and it was not removed from the package. So I think I've got the whole package: original 📦, documentation, (blank) warranty card alongside with the watch.
After checking the accesories, I read the user guide to test the adjusment and functions for the watch. Every function works as expected: adjusting the local & home hour, date change (which happens near midnight) The chronograph works correctly: starting, stopping, immediate restart (twinfly), and the seconds & minute hands for the chronograph work correctly.
I got the bracelet adjusted at a nearby jewerly, which is indeed an AD for Montblanc and they had no comments regarding this may be a fake watch... which I already knew. They even told me they've got a customer looking for this specific watch, and that nowadays this model is hard to come by. The watch and the bracelet are somewhat heavy but in the end I got a nice fit.
So I'm happy with my purchase. This is my first purchase of a watch (relatively expensive) sold at grey market. I know that it may be a risk (paying for repair if anything goes wrong) but considering the money I saved, that almost every single watch I've bought before through AD has been fine (I've never really needed to use the warranty except for my very first Mido automatic chronograph) and that Massdrop offers warranty for this watch, I'm confident.
