My grandfather passed away a few years ago and I have been storing some of his watches in my watch box since then. I think the dial is gorgeous and the watch actually runs, but not very well. The hands have something that looks like a faded black paint on them. How likely is that to be radium? I am considering opening up the watch to see about repairing and wearing it, but if it is radium I'll probably just polish the crystal and leave it in the watch box.
