A watch buying question, please...

Members,

I am faced with a dilemna.  I am lookng for an everyday watch that I can primarily wear to beat around in and will put up with some punishment.  I currently wear watches under a suit so my watches do not take much of a beating and plus all of my watches are on the dressier side.  What I currently have is:

1.  JLC Platinum Reverso RDM

2.  JLC SS Amvox 1

3.  JLC RG Master Reveil

4.  JLC SS Master Calendar

5.  VC 18K with Custom Case

6.  Original 1967 Omega Speedmaster Pre-Moon

Also, on its  way is a JLC Platinum 70eme.

Anyway, I was getting a pretty good deal on a Montblanc Big Date Flyback Chrono and I was thinking that this would make a great watch to have as a daily wearer, as I was looking for something under 3k.  I know that MB is making strides recently, but I wanted to get your thoughts on what you thought about this piece and if it is worth purchasing or is it really only a fashion piece.  I believe that this piece had a Jaquet movement, but I do not know anything else about it.  I like the big date and flyback complications and that is why I was drwan to it.  Any help would be appreciated.  I tried to do a search for this piece but did not find anythng, so I apologize in advance if I am missing some comments.

Thank you.
