In this episode, The Radium Boys (me and The Sandman) crack open the mystery of my 38mm Cyma Dirty Dozen — a WWII military watch with fully intact radium lume plots…and some serious radiation output. Armed with Sandman’s gamma scintillator meter, we test just how “hot” this vintage piece really is and dive into a collector-focused conversation about:
How radioactive are Dirty Dozen watches? Is it safe to wear? How do you store them? Should YOU consider buying one?
It’s part history lesson, part safety check, part watch-nerd chaos — exactly what you’d expect from The Radium Boys.
6:27 – Deck Review
8:45 – Back On The Ride
21:08 – Containment Breach
24:16 – Final Measurement
