The Seiko Road Marvel 36000, which arrived today, looks like a typical Road Marvel.
However, the camera back has a ``seahorse'' characteristic of the earliest models.
Lord Marvel, which was made high beat in 1967,
A historical masterpiece that is still very popular today.
In 1966, when Lord Marvel was given the model number 5740-8000,
There was a transitional model equipped with a low beat movement.
At that time, a seahorse was used as the logo for waterproof watches at the time.
It is likely that the parts from that time were used until 1967.
Even in 1967, the logo became "SEIKO" in the latter half of the year, so
Although the difference is in trivial details, it is a rare model with a very short period.
That doesn't mean there will be a premium, but
Part of the fun of vintage watches is seeing these differences.
As it is a watch with a basic design,
I think the engraving on the back cover looks strangely cute.
Once you get hooked on this kind of fun, you won't be able to get rid of vintage watches...
Please be careful.
