Tag Heuer cal. 1887 and Junghans cal. 930 is Seiko.
Seiko 4Hz cal. 6S – series with screw-micro-regulator, a cal. 4S/4L with chronograph is missing – 4Hz, 40j. cal. 6S37A -10/+15 s/d is a gem.
Seiko 4Hz cal. 8R -15/+25 s/d is cal. 4R with chronograph and normal EtaChron-regulator.

…sorry, Junghans cal. 890 and not cal. 930, which is a Grand Seiko 4Hz cal. 9S51A – probably the Grand Seiko at the lowest price…

BVL 328 and Tag Heuer, cal. 36; from 1988-2000 the El Primero sold to Rolex was eased down to less precise 4 Hz /cal. 40.0.
