Geiger Readings for tritium watches

Does anyone have a Geiger they can use to check an 80’s/90’s tritium watch against background?

I have a counter but unfortunately nothing newer than the late 60’s.

I disagree. Read back for the reason why from the Prof, no tritium is yet old enough to be fully at background yet, well maybe the 1960s stuff wouldn't give much of a return but stuff from the 1990s has only undergone 2 half lives so is still at a quarter the potency when new.

You haven't read my answer. No gamma counter will read tritium.

The OP counter measures beta, which tritium emits. He stated this about half way down.

I have personally tested a tritium dial with a Geiger counter in my youth (when I did my physics degree) and there were detectible emissions.

I also have tried (by mistake) to measure tritium (not an unknown isotope within a watch) with a research-grade gamma counter. It did not work. And I guess the fact that Ball watches are sold today full of tritium vials show that just a thin glass stops this soft radiation. Gamma counters do not work because between the isotope and the actual sensor there are a few mm of air (that's enough to stop these soft beta rays) and also a glass or plastic window.

But I'll stop this now. I have no more info to add.

I have one and checked it against a tritium containing Seamaster from 1980 (it's presentation watch with the year). It did not detect anything outside of background radiation. The lume still glows bright green, esp. when I use my dark light but fades pretty fast after (unlike the radium watches).

What instrument exactly are you using?
