Hey everyone:

I got a great score last Saturday. I went to a "moving sale" and picked up an authentic Montblanc Ladies Profile Watch with Diamonds, model 704-7. I asked the owner were it was originally purchased and she said the Montblanc store. Don't know why she sold it for only $50. Maybe it was a gift. I used my Mizar to test the diamonds. Originally retailed for $3500, sells used in this condition without box or papers for around $800 to $900 on eBay.

This one has the box:

She also had 14k rings and was asking high prices like $200 on a 14k ring w/ topaz (6 gram weight). Didn't buy those. I don't know how I got this for so cheap. Funny thing is she posted a picture of the watch on my local online classifieds (didnt write the name of the watch in text), along with pictures of other things she was selling.

I've never heard of Montblanc and only after a quick ebay search did I know. I had a feeling it was going to be a fake but nope, its real.

Here are a few pics; (serial number removed);

Guess she got it as a gift and never knew it was a very expensive watch? Good job TH!

Maybe she had it written on a price sheet at $500 and misread it when she told you the price? However it happened, great score!

I am forever trying to buy a Montblanc pen (which is what the company is known for). Congrats on this one!

I bought a Mont Blanc box and empty leather pen case for $1.00. Thought it might have some value though I thought the pens were long gone. Sold for $70.00.

Just bought a Mont Blanc box and cufflinks for $5.00. But I have my doubts. Somethings not right but it is a very pretty set.

This irks me a little.... As I know for a fact I've walked past at least one of these watches... Or left one go in a box lot at auction... Facepalm! Now I know and won't ever do that again.
