                                  SCHEDULE 13D

                              Christopher A. Millar
                                Samuel B. Watson



Item 1.        SECURITY AND ISSUER

               This filing relates to the common stock of Argent Capital
               Corporation (the "Issuer"), a Nevada corporation whose principal
               office is located at 1801 West End Avenue, Nashville, TN 37203.

Item 2.        IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

               This statement is being filed with the Securities and Exchange
               Commission (the "Commission") by the following reporting persons
               (the "Reporting Persons"): Christopher A. Millar, President,
               Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Issuer; Samuel B.
               Watson, Executive Vice President and a Director of the Issuer and
               Chief Executive Officer of its subsidiary, Argent Financial
               Services, Inc. Mr. Millar is a citizen of New Zealand; Mr. Watson
               is a U.S. citizen. The business address of each is 1801 West End
               Avenue, Nashville, TN 37203. Neither has been convicted in a
               criminal proceeding nor been a party to a civil proceeding as a
               result of which the Issuer or any other person was or is subject
               to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations
               of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
               state securities laws, or finding any violations with respect to
               such laws.

Item 3.        SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

               The shares and warrants purchased by Mr. Millar, as described in
               Item 5 (c), below were purchased from the Issuer by Mr. Millar
               using his personal funds and by reduction of amounts which the
               Issuer would otherwise owe to Mr. Millar in payment of salary
               earned during 1999. The shares and warrants owned by Mr. Watson
               were purchased directly from the Issuer using his personal funds.

Item 4.        PURPOSE OF TRANSACTIONS

               The securities have been acquired for investment purposes, and to
               fund operations of the Issuer, but not with a view to acquiring
               control of the Issuer. However, the Reporting Persons and other
               officers and Directors of the Issuer may be deemed to
               beneficially own approximately 60% of this class of equity
               securities of the Issuer.

Item 5.        INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

               Mr. Millar
               ----------
               (a) At May 26, 1999, Mr. Millar owns a total of 1,593,859
               shares of the Issuer's common stock and 1,401,664 common stock
               purchase warrants, comprising beneficial ownership of 30.9% of
               the class of equity securities outstanding.


<PAGE>   5

               (b) Mr. Millar has the sole power to vote and to dispose of the
               Issuer's common stock and to hold, exercise and dispose of the
               common stock purchase warrants he owns, as set forth herein.

               (c) On March 31, 1999, Mr. Millar purchased 202,664 investment
               units from the Issuer for $.25 per unit, which were issued
               pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section
               4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Each unit was
               comprised of one share of restricted common stock of the Issuer
               and one warrant to purchase an additional share of the Issuer's
               common stock at $.25 at any time within three years following the
               issuance. On April 15, 1999, Mr. Millar purchased 500,000
               additional such investment units from the Issuer, on the same
               terms and pursuant to the same exemption from registration. The
               purchases were paid for partially in cash and partially by the
               reduction of amounts of salary which would otherwise have been
               owed to Mr. Millar by the Issuer.

               Mr. Millar previously owned 891,195 of the Issuer's common
               shares and 699,000 common stock purchase warrants.

               Mr. Watson
               ----------
               (a) At May 26, 1999, Mr. Watson owns 800,000 shares of the
               Issuer's common stock and 800,000 common stock purchase warrants,
               comprising beneficial ownership of 17.6% of the class of equity
               securities outstanding.

               (b) Mr. Watson has sole power to vote and to dispose of the
               Issuer's common stock and to hold, exercise and dispose of the
               common stock purchase warrants he owns, as set forth herein.

               (c) On March 15, 1999, Mr. Watson purchased for cash 400,000
               investment units from the Issuer at a purchase price of $.25 per
               unit, which were issued pursuant to the exemption from
               registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
               1933, as amended. Each unit was comprised of one share of
               restricted common stock of the Issuer and one warrant to purchase
               an additional share of the Issuer's common stock at $.25 at any
               time within three years following the issuance. On April 15, 1999
               Mr. Watson purchased 400,000 additional such investment units
               from the Issuer, on the same terms and pursuant to the same
               exemption from registration. Mr. Watson previously owned and has
               since acquired no securities of the Issuer.

               The foregoing issuances were approved by the Issuer's Board of
               Directors. The purchases were made pursuant to the execution of
               stock purchase agreements approved by the Issuer's Board of
               Directors for use with respect to issuances to its employees,
               officers and directors. The common stock and any common shares
               purchased pursuant to exercise of the warrants are subject to a
               registration rights agreement with the Issuer, entitling the
               Reporting Persons to have such shares included in a registration
               statement for a public offering of the Issuer's securities,
               should such a registration statement be filed by the Issuer.


Item 6.        CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
               RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

               Neither Reporting Person has any contract, arrangement,
               understanding or relationship with any other person with respect
               to securities of the Issuer, including, without limitation,
               agreements regarding transfer or voting of such securities,
               finders' fees, joint ventures, loan or option agreements, puts or
               calls, guarantees of profit, division of profits or losses, or
               the giving or withholding of proxies.
