A fantastic condition vintage piece, the original glass has been replaced with a cheap plastic one but that is easily sorted. This turned out to be larger than expected, 37mm (ex crown).

Attachment 5697

Japanese market; no reference number seen. It looks a lot like the case & dial design of some Longines (very thin Cal. 990) I used to own...probably made around the same time (post-1978):

I'm pretty sure these three are going to get most of my time in '10 as I'm going to try and not get anything else this year. Enjoy!

But last night Sucram 1161 asked me to open a thread in the forum to be discussed if this is an authenic Starliner 100!!

Any ideas, Brad, Mike?

I stumbled across this on Yahoo last week. What a wild piece. Notice the rotating A logo, the 97-jewel Felsa movement (Rado also offered that jewel count) and the overall late-1950s/early-1960s style which is much like the President and World Travel models.

I like this...I bet there aren't many about:

I was looking for a nice vintage swiss made automatic and browsed on ebay. My attention went from a Mido Commander to the old Rado's. First I wanted a purple or green horse (nice!), but couldn't get my hands on one for a reasonable price. Then I saw a starliner daymaster and couldn't resist it. I bought it from ebay this morning and hope to receive it soon.

I hope it's all authentic rado and no 'frankenstein'. I have my doubts though after reading some posts.

First thing noticable about this starliner is that the black/white dial is reversed compared to other starliners. Also it does not have the round hour markers, but the 'hook'-like straight markers. Could be a frankensteined day-night model??

Anyway it looks in great shape.
