I knew this one was coming

But i still decided some month ago to purchase the black enamel snail dial vintage chronograph:
IMHO this new split second is too busy in its appearance: the mix of colors and the numerals and the hands lead to an unsteady look. I would not want to be puzzled every time I look for the time. I prefer watches with a more calm appearance. The blue enamel is nice to have in a collection but for me it is overall not classical enough to wear it daily.
For the pricing one has to remember that the pure gold Montblanc chronos from 2008 were produced in quantities of either 8 or 58 and were priced until recently between 46,000 and 60,000. OK, no split second but lower quantities. So in comparison to their own history 36,000 is OK but not such a deal.
That is why I went with the Breguet numbers, black enamel, white gold version of 58 instead of this one. It will be interesting to see how well this one will sell.
