HiBeat - I had stumbled on these cool Japanese watches, using the Seiko NE86, which I think is the the same as the 8R46A. I agree that would be a fine starting point. kuronotokyo.com/pages/chronograph-1-mk-2I also agree - IF THEY DO IT RIGHT - they can put whatever price tag they want on it and they will sell out quickly. EDIT: so far it seems Seiko always takes a lame shortcut with the vintage re-issues. The new and beautiful mono-pusher lacked of all things a mono pusher! The new King Seiko has a run of the mill movement. Same with the re-issue GMT. The expensive Willard re-issue was a different size, and the first 62MAS reissue was too. MAYBE the new 62MAS re-issue is the closest to perfect they have gotten so far - easy enough because it does not require much in the way of movement complications. It would be really cool to see Seiko use their vast wealth to build some new movements to house in these re-editions. I would love to see a new and improved World Timer like the original but perhaps a rotating 24 hour disc instead of a GMT hand and bezel. I would also love to see a mono-pusher, a true 6139 successor, a true bellmatic successor, etc. They could easily do like Omega with the Speedmaster, or Rolex with the Submariner and just churn them out endlessly in celebration of their heritage and importance in the watch community.

DanS - I was 70/30 you would be able to pull those right out of a watch box . You have my vote for the coolest and most diverse vintage collection of the month here! I like to think I have a lot diversity in the ones I own, but that's more true with modern examples. Nearly all of my vintage stuff so far is Seiko or Citizen, and with those I tend to collect full (or near full) sets, vs the best of each model.
