when I do pics will add a movement shot also when doing the back I tend to make sure any ref numbers are easy to read
but if I look at it sides ways I see Y469624A-7A so that and look would say anywhere from 1970 to 1979 at a guess I would say the movement is a 21 jewels automatic calibre 46941 with seeing the movement can't say for sure thou

Thank you for this. I should have known all roads lead to Ranfft. Didn’t even think to look there first.
