    Cheers for the advice. Got the watch from Dad today and will be taking it a local vintage watch specialist to get it serviced and repair the movement. Although I hear it can be hard to find some Venus 210 parts. Sub seconds is working fine and it seems to keep good time, the pushers aren't working though - I think there's a broken spring somewhere.

    Not sure about reluming the hands, may leave them if I can for the time being. The lume actually still works on the hands which I found surprising.

    Radium can still light up when it gets a blast of light. Just don’t lick it.

    The relume is only a matter of personal preference here. I will feel safer because of the flakes but no one will blame you not doing it (most may still consider it as a crime even if it flakes :D)

    Just tell your watchmaker about radium presence to be sure he is aware of it (especially as all other CASD used tritium)
