Hi all
I was at a bricks and mortar store today and saw something practically identical to this:

Except the dial text said bel-lux instead of Lumox. A very quick google search revealed nothing (apart from the above link).

Views? Value? Collectibility?

 

There are plenty of pointer dates around. Most are day windows at 12. The rotating day inner bezel with a month window is another twist. Couldn't tell you for sure what they're worth. I know I don't see many and I don't see them being chased and sought after.

 

Thanks.
I have never liked the look of the triple calendar with the day as a window at 12, but the look of this rotating bezel really appealed to me. I've managed to find a couple more on eBay, each with different brand names.

 

Here is one I have an ELOGA with a Fontmelon caliber 175. These should all have the same movement, just a different name on the dial, etc.

Top crown in changes the month, out rotates the outer date disk. Date pointer arrow changes with the hands no quick-set.

Value probably not more than about $200-$250 for an nice one, the "maker" really isn't a factor in value since the movements were all the same anyway.

An interesting complication for not a lot of money.

 

Yours is in great condition! The bricks and mortar store wanted $500, so ill pass on that and keep an eye on the bay.

 

Yes, $500 would be far too much for one of these, you could get a nice generic name triple date moon-phase for that kind of money.

 

After hunting the Bay, I found one list this:

bid on it, but didn't get it. Given that this one went for just over $100, $500 was clearly too much!

This one wasn't in good condition, and I guess in the end it is a good thing I missed out - saves the Treasury for something more, um, well, gold and shiny!

 

I had to bump this old thread and your post as I am waiting for mine to come back from restoration. I’m just looking for a correct spacer for the movement, other than that it will be in full working order. Do you still have yours?
