Watch Description

I found this NOS with tag (or unused) Sterling Silver watch from Italy and it was a match to one of the unknowns I had so I had to get it.   It is a 925 Sterling Silver case.   The dial is black with roman numeral hour markers.  The movement is a 6CL and is 17J but I could not find a date code.  I am basing this at 1976 based on my other silver watch having a close serial number also beginning with four.   Most likely an International model.  1976 Unknown.   I included a side by side comparison photo with my other watch.

I come up empty on this one. Case markings and lack of an import code on movement do seem to indicate production outside the US. I wonder if "Argent" on the tag is watch name, or refers to something else?

Unknown for now.

Nice find; good looking watch. I would agree it is a non-USA model.

Unknown for now.

I can see why you had to buy it Jim. They make a nice pair.

How did you determine the year of the other example?

My other watch had an N6 date code on the movement and the serial numbers both 4-1.....date by association.
