Well the case design of the 52 KS Special is fairly similar to that of the 45 KS, and it also says hi beat on the dial because 4hz was considered a high beat rate in period.

As for why they can be expensive to maintain, it's a combination of the 45xx being a little more prone to wearing out parts than other vintage Daini calibers, and the lack of spare parts availability means having to buy donors if you need parts and there were no cheap versions of the 45xx.

By contrast, if you need a non-escapement part for a 52xx you can buy an LM Special parts donor for under $50.

I've quite seriously considered getting one for my 52 KS Special.

It's amazing the neat vintage watches you can get for under $300 if you know what to look for and are patient.
