There is a very similar 10gf example in Zaf's 'Past Prices', sold in 1999 -- with the same dial, including the nifty 12-3-6-9 marks (different lugs). | ||

Those blue hour markers look odd to me. These are fairly rare watches, but not on people radar really. In a way, they're generally undervalued. | ||

Zaf -- sorry and delete this if it's 'taboo' -- it's from your 'Past Prices':  Compare the hour marks -- (this piece is listed as an old refinish). At first, I expected that the crown was a replacement, but literally all of these calendars in your archives (6 of them) have this same crown. | ||

I extracted a pixel from the '9' marker on the 'Past Prices' Calendar Disk above, and enlarged it:  Analyzing in Paint Shop, this color resides in the blue portion of the spectrum (grayed). But perhaps it's the photo. | ||

I just do not remember these having blue markers. Haven't had one in a while though. | ||

These 2 are very much the exception in dial design -- within your archive, and elsewhere as well. The majority appear as 'standard' Memovox dial designs, with the exception of the center. | ||

ANOTHER EXAMPLE of this unusual calendar dial design. This makes 3 like this - including mine and the one in Past Prices sold in 1999. This watch is presently listed on a notorious auction site.   | ||

Here is a 4th example of this LC Calendar Dial design. This 10kGF one is black - and also to be found on a not to be named auction venue. Wish mine was black.   |
