Very interesting case design. Reminds me of omega with the lugs and partial recessed crown. I like it.

Just got my 46999 Seiko Liner Chronometer back from service. The rarest of the 1963 Seiko Chronometers and only produced for one year, it's slimmer than its cousins the 43999 Grand Seiko, and the 49999 King Seiko, and is also the only model with an applied logo in a really quite fetching and dramatic art deco script.

Brand new to Seiko and am in need of some help.

Looking for a vintage orange dial size 40+mm, either auto or quartz (but auto preferably). Which model should I look for?

I have a specific rotation I follow. I prefer the vintage over most of the modern so I am selling many of those to consolidate and cherry pick a few more vintage I want.

Pickings are slim in orange and that size.

You can look for a nice 7548-700C.

Here is mine from 1982.
