Thanks, Lou . . . this one was fun to write . . . and it's got me wanting a vintage flyback chrono (of any brand) in the worst way!!
Let me point out that TAG Heuer is using the inner track / outer track style on some of its brand new chronographs, as to which it is not constrained by the problem of using a small movement. I like this style; I also like the 1960s stopwatches!!

: Impressively thorough post, Jeff - you've covered all the
: perspectives. I agree with the others about the subdial spacing,
: though. Its a problem the modern Zeniths have too - comes of
: trying to build a 42mm+ watch around a movement built to power a
: 38mm one. TAGHeuer has tried to mitigate it with the superfluous
: inner minute track. Interesting solution, but final judgement
: awaits seeing it in the metal.
