I like the one you posted. Although a few other Longines are quite nice, the funky font the numbers are in don't do it for me.

I'm also a huge chrono guy which is in line with my attraction towards the busier dials.

I don't mind more than 2 or 3 hands on a watch face when done elegantly, but this looks like a pressure dial at the Fukijima nuclear reactor..... it's all over the shop.

This watch certainly delivers complication bang for buck, but unfortunately the aesthetics suffer as a result. They should have focused on creating a good looking watch that's easy to read, rather than cramming in as many complications and subdials as possible, with little thought it seems.

Of course that's just my opinion, but I'm 100% right.
