Ya, I need to know also @Tanukjaju. This just struck me, as I had a few vintage watches including 2 Angelus 190. Am thinking of buying a Radiation Detector but it is not cheap for a reliable one.

[mention]VanSong[/mention] [mention]Emilio[/mention] yes they are. Step 1 is usually to toss the dial away and clean the hands of the existing lume very carefully. ... in a bag with gloves

We should probably start a new thread of handling radium.

Messing around with the idea of a cloisonne dial build.
Ordered this particular dial and a nicely decorated 6497 movement.

Yes I think is good for the Amateur Builder to be, like me know before they start to touch anything.

It does give me a chilled spines when I started doing research on the internet on this radium on Vintage watches and what it may harm your body. Not only just by wearing but also when you open it up, the particles which may disperse and Inhaled!
