Repping a Spring Drive... courtesy Bulova?

So I have searched and found no discussionon it, am i the only one considering trying a build with the 262Hz movements? I have seen some of their new watches going for $250 or less and with that smooth as Amish butter sweep, well, seems like a no-brainer to me.
Seeing as how there are 50k smarter and more experienced people here i figure I am missing something.
So what am I missing before I drop rent money on some supplies?

Funny you say that
I have been thinking about this

However as it’s a proprietary movement, I never found specifications documents, especially on stem height, hands sizes and mvt thickness

So I dropped the project

I have seen one made on Seiko Mods subreddit

I went and tried on the Super Seville in gold tone, lovely watch and the butter smooth sweeping seconds hand was great to look at... ever so slightly bigger than I would have liked it to be. I ended up going with the PRX 35mm in gold. Stunned by it to say the least, I'll be fixated on this one for a while LOL

I really wish brands would start making more 35mm - 37mm watches... a 40mm dress watch just does not look very timeless/classy IMO.
Would love to see Seiko a 36mm presage in yellow gold tone, that would be a stunning timepiece!
