What time is it? Watches and horology

Pretty, simple, accurate. At 36000 beats second hand sweeps as smooth as silk. What's not to like?

Just picked up a hi-beat 5740C from March 1969. These are going to go up in value. It's the precursor movement to the one that smashed all chrono records and got Seiko banned by the snotty Swiss back in the late 60s.

On an original solid link oyster bracelet and so far keeping excellent time (will test it over next 48 hours) face and hands / batons everything are in remarkable condition for a 45 year old watch.
