Beware of old luminescent watches

Beware of old luminescent watches Video Clips. Duration : 0.25 Mins.

Since 1968, it is illegal to sell Radium-containing watches in North-America. However, if you have old luminescent watch (as the one that I've inherited from my father), it probably contains Radium, a cancerous substance whose half-life is 1600 years. In this video, the watch on the left was restaured and cleaned while the watch on the right was not. Jean-Pierre Martel
