Maybe the 1960 on some things. Unlike today's luminous materials... radium glowed all the time. <br /><br />I view radium like lead paint. It's okay as long as you don't mess with it. The main concern with radium is you don't ingest it or breath in the dust - especially if you work with it all the time. <br /><br />You're not going to get radioation poisoning from wearing the watch on your wrist - but I would advise against eating the hands. The same is true for old dials... don't eat them either.HandyDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083270175066343104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-75558984242948413412013-01-30T06:58:04.341-08:002013-01-30T06:58:04.341-08:00will the hands be dangerous of radioactive stuff??...will the hands be dangerous of radioactive stuff???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
