Hi, I'm new to the forum. I've recently come into a vintage 5740-8000. Trying to learn as much as I can about the watch and find a reputable place/person to get it serviced preferably in the US bonus points for California! Thanks all for having me here!

I think there is a decent spot in Sac.

Welcome to our fine forum !

I have a 1967 5740-8000 which means it is an LM36000 that beats at 10 beats per second (36,000 beats per hour)

Earlier versions beat at 18,000 bph and did not have LM36000 on the dial.

What are the first 2 digits of the case back serial number?

Does the case back read water proof or water resistant ?

Here's mine in all its silky smooth sweep:

If you see a watch it's for sale - all we need is to agree on a price 😁
