Hi, I really want a Soviet watch that’s affordable and in a good condition. I came across this one and I really want it. But the thing is I’m kinda paranoid because I read that many watches had radioactive dials before the 1960’s and I don’t want to risk it with this one.
So is there a way to find out whether or not this is radioactive through the pictures?
Also, if anyone knows a good seller on ebay that has watches that are in good condition and are really affordable like this one, can you please share the link? I honestly don’t care if they aren’t 100% real or are frankens. I just really want a nice Soviet watch…
Wish that there was a long list that contained all the names of watches that were radioactive, so amateurs like me can be careful.
That watch doesn’t appear to have any luminous paint, so there’s nothing that would contain radium. Even if it did have radium paint, it wouldn’t be dangerous unless you ate it.
