Any Montoya love???

I know most love the RB2 in Ti, but does anyone besides me like the Montoya in Ti? Is it also a good quality LE F1 AP?

It is pretty nice but never quite got the following as many gravitated towards the RB2 including myself. I personally like it but not sure I would spend the large premium to get one which is roughly 50% or so.

+1, I never liked it. The bezel kills it for me, but also the screws look weird. the all-white dial, lacking arabic numerals, with the strap's stitch design, it just feels flat.
I like the idea of the motif having a "checkered flag" theme going on, but in the concept and not execution.

I think it looks better in person. Pictures never quite do it justice. The face and bezel really pop which is never quite captured in photos.
