While going through my late Fathers collection of odds and ends (he was a lifelong watchmaker), I discovered this movement, which I will eventually be selling. It appears to be a Valjoux, but which model? The movement is marked "Aristo import co. inc." "17 jewels, unadjusted" and "Swiss". any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

with only being a newbie of 2-3yrs now i am glad i have learnt enought from books and also this site to know the marking, plus a little book called the " finger print" has a collection of Chrono photos of all models front and back making it a lot easier to know which was which as the fronts seem to be the same on a lot of them.
