I can't speak to the price, but I think you'd probably enjoy wearing it. Are you considering this because the vintage version is so hard to find, or do you prefer the reissue?
I'm considering this because this is the first orange one I've seen come up for sale in months (vintage or modern) and I'm not certain I'd be able to do much better price-wise by waiting
I think if you did do better on the price it would only be by a couple hundred at the most. If you like it go for, I personally think 35mm is an awesome size. I wish I had found a "ladies" size Kon Tiki when I bought my 1973 re-issue.
Just in time for my birthday too! Dial is a bit smaller than I expected, but the 35mm case is the exact size I like for my field work watches.
