Any of you own this exact watch?
My very first vintage Seiko which is a 1966 Lord Marvel with the seahorse caseback. I bought this one because I wanted a Lord Marvel but hadn't seen this exact model before. It's been about 3 years and I'm still looking, although it could just be my luck. The closest one has the Lord Marvel above the Diashock at 6:00. Do any of you own this watch or have seen one?

Calling @whitesalmon , I can't help with this. Nice watch though.
Okay, Is this a riddle? A couple pics of what you have front and back and what you're looking for. Just a little confusing but want to help
I don't own one, but one came up for sale a few days ago on Ebay, I didn't buy it as the dial had some damage. It's a 5740-8000 with the 5740B movement, in 1967 they were replaced with the high beat 5740C movement running at 36,000 vph. These were only made for roughly a year I believe & are very rare!

Thanks! I was doing some more digging last night and someone has one on IG with Arabic numerals, which was kind of cool. But you’re absolutely correct, they were only produced between 1966-67.

Not a riddle, I was just a little concerned since I hadn’t really been able to find this model online and was wondering if the 5740-8000 reference printed on the back was correct. But I did find someone else with one last night and he confirmed it. So we’re good, I appreciate your time.

Okay glad it worked out on your end. I was just confused by the question.
