Yes, Chris - its a classic, and that bracelet is nice, too..

This and the blue dialled version are really nice. Lots of "refinished" stuff coming from parts of Asia these days (at least they clearly state so when selling the ones I have seen on the bay), and an original without the Thai copy bezel insert and in original condition is worth a premium.  ThumbsUp02.gif

Zeno still make a nice bullhead with a 7750 (I had one and sold it in the continuing search for "the one" :) ), and the Citizen that Graham mentions is a nice one, too. 

The all-time classic (IMHO) is the Omega bullhead  - but that is such an astronomical dollar now that we will rarely see them out in the wild because owners will hide them in their safes!

As to the Seiko - well done and enjoy wearing it! Another nice vintage Seiko joins the fold!

Cheers - Ian

Chris, as you probably know, my main area of horological interest is with vintage chronographs.  I find them fascinating.  Real little engineering marvels too!
That is an iconic vintage chrono.  Now go for the matching Citizen bullhead too!
Congrats and enjoy!thumbsup.gif
