Montblanc GMT Chronograph - Authenticity concern

Hi, I'm new to this site although I've been lurking in the background for quite some time! Great site by the way, I can't get over the level of information I'm able to find on here.
I recently broke one of the "Fake watch prevention" cardinal rules: "...If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is..." I purchased a Montblanc GMT Chronograph for a bargain (in my book) which is roughly 35-40% of what Montblanc retails it for. All looked good via the internet (pictures). When it arrived, I inspected it and it looked/felt good to my untrained eye (<-- please read an eye that has no hint or hope for training when it comes to high end watches). It came with a box and warranty card, everything looks legit but guess what, I stayed up at night thinking about the authenticity of this purchase... so here I am.

Montblanc quoted me 8 to 12 weeks to validate the authenticity and I will pursue that avenue but before I do that, I'm looking for quick expert advise. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm also planning to show it to a local watchmaker to see what he thinks.

I'm posting pictures I took myself of the watch, they should be of a decent resolution.

Thanks! Flag
