For someone who likes a lot of complications I guess the first one is pretty cool

The second one looks to have very good proportions with its thin bezel but the minute track gives up a lot of dial real estate.
only accurate watches are interesting

Thinner bezels seem to be gaining in popularity. IMHO that's a good thing.

The first one is a trainwreck. The second looks like a Tussot. The third looks like a TAG.

The Rally-Timer is awesome, plain and simple. It's also $33,900, which is decidedly not awesome.

The bread and butter pieces are nice in person, wear well and are priced right, but they're nothing to write home about about. Definitely solid additions to Montblanc's collection -- the DLC'd UTC Chronograph is my favorite -- but at this price I'd much rather have a Baume & Mercier Clifton Club.

The 1000/sec monstrosity is as terrifying on the wrist as it is in pictures (movement is a tour de force with over 20 patents to its name, but christ that dial is hideous). Fortunately they're only making 18.

Adam

The first one reminds me a bit of the old TAG Grand Carrera RS36
