Overall, the watch is in very good condition. Dial and hands are in very good condition, retaining the original radium, responding to the geiger counter. The hands have been professionally colour matched to the dial. The dial has an inscription of RA < 1,5µc, indicating the level of radioactivity is fairly low, even lower now 60y later. The watch case appears to be unpolished. The bidirectional bakelite bezel shows a nice fade to gray, also in very good condition. The serviced watch is in excellent running condition, keeping accurate time. (290; +2s/d) The watch comes from the family of the first owner in Germany.
