Re: Added to OnTheDash -- Reference 404 N (Radium)
In Response To: Re: Added to OnTheDash -- Reference 404 N (Radium) ()

: My only concern is for the health of anyone who owns/wears a radium
: dial. Not blaming anyone. Radium breaks down to radon gas and
: the less of that you breathe the better.

I think the 404 is not a concern on this front and as long the watch is kept anywhere w normal ventilation the radon isn't a concern either. This has been covered extensively on omega. Forums with many contributions from experts
