I only owned one single radium watch. It was a wonderfull 18k solid gold PiePan Conny, that i got from an original owner in full set.
I was not aware of the radium, when i opened up the watch. When i realised it, i started reading online, researching, bought myself a Geiger counter and was surprised by the high reading this watch indicated. I actually started feeling very uncomfortable about it and sold it. I also promised to never buy a radium watch again.
Its not that i feel they are terribly dangerous for wearing, but i like to regulate my watches by myself and i dont feel comfortable around radium. But thats just me.
I will probably never find such a cool deal again, but i have no regrets!
