·This is estimated to be from 1967, though it may be a year older . . .
I'll present the evidence for the estimated date after the watch:
If the Excelsior Park movement were stamped 4-68, the watch would have been produced between 1968 and say, 1972 or 1973.
The movement has all of the attributes of the upgraded 4-68, but it is not stamped 4-68, therefore; it is a very late EP 4 with light balance wheel and mobile stud carrier.
Not my best movement shot. 😉
Also, the S/N suggests the 1967-ish time-frame S/N 9508xx

·Apparently the mods decided to merge some threads and group some years. I think it's a good idea but I believe this thread should then include the year 1969, please 😉 let's merge them into 5 year periods. @gatorcpa @cicindela
