Radium radioactivity concern

WatchUSeek Watch Forums WatchUSeek Watch Forums stefandenic

Hi everyone,

I recently won the auction on a local market. It's a WW2 field watch, with unknown history and pretty much everything else.

I would love to restore the watch – disassemble everything, have it cleaned, polish the case and have it replated. Assemble the movement, adjust it ….

The issue is potential use of radium in the hands and/or the dial. I am very cautious about it, to the point of offering some money to the seller and leave it to be resold again. Or immediately resell it…
