  1. The green one has chipped paint around the dial by the looks of it.

  2. Hi Craig, To me it looks like the one from the Philippines has had the case reworked as there is not a mark on it, suspicious, should you want the dial restoring I'm sure it would cost more than the watch, they also seem a bit greedy. The other one from York looks a much better bet at a much better price and looks like an unabused example, I'll vote for York. RogerC

  3. This one looks nice - not a Daymaster, but a good looking item all the same... Bit more pricey, but a nice looker. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Early-70s-Vintage-RADO-NEW-GOLDEN-HORSE-AUTOMATIC-25J-ETA-CAL-2789-WATCH-/161205011709?pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item25889144fd

  4. Looks real enough - the movement is what I would expect: AS1806. The anchor on the dial should turn with the watch (like the weight inside) but picture 1, 2 and 3 show it in the same position - picture 5 you can see it has moved so maybe it is sticky. This is a common fault given the age of these. It does not affect the running of the watch though. It's a good price at the moment but remember the import fees, and that dial is quite stained.

  5. I don't think it's a fake. There were plenty of these made in many varying styles. The dial and the case look authentic, as does the movement. I think the starting price is a little on the high side, personally. The postage is £10 - and don't forget that you'll almost certainly have to pay customs duty when you collect it from your local Royal Mail depot - because it won't be delivered to your door until the duty has been paid. So, my very amateur view is: it seems OK but I'd look out for one in Europe before going for one in the US/Philippines, etc. I never buy expensive things from the States - I stick to things like specialist mainsprings! If there is a problem, it's not easy to sort out at that distance.
