Hi folks, I have been offered a Decimal bezel which I believe to be vintage original. I have had great difficulty in assessing its value. I could not find trace of any related transaction or item for sale. I have found a transaction on eBay for a Pulsometer bezel that was advertised for $10.400 and an offer was accepted. Which seems amazing to me.
So, my next question is how much would members value those original special bezels, in decent nice condition ?

1. Pulsometer bezel, probably the sexiest. $3k ?
2. Telemeter bezel, mile and km. $1.5k ?
3. Decimal, the least sexy but rare. $1.5 ?

I’d value the pulsometer at least equal to a DoN, if not significantly more. Say 100-150% the value of a comparable DoN.

If proved to be vintage, the telemeter/decimal one would be say 80-100% the value of a comparable DoN bezel.

I dip in and out of the forum but guess I lost sight of this topic. Didn’t realize pulsometers had jumped up so much…

I was under the impression, after reading several threads on the subject, that the Telemeter / Decimal were valued much less than a DON by members. I also noticed that many threads are not so recent.

A month ago, a telemeter bezel (in miles), in a really good condition, has been sold for almost 3k chf. I'm not even sure that it's a vintage one (I think it was a flat 3).
A vintage decimal in average condition has been sold for 1600 chf.

Was the decimal bezel the one displayed on ricardo.ch ?

If we are talking about the same it said unsold…I find the condition quite rough.

You're welcome 😀
I bet on it. I was the first one I saw for sell (but I didn't get it).
