Dear Bulova Friends.
I plan too buy a couple of old Bulovas from late 20th to early 30th.
And i plan to send them with post .
Will the radium in the watches give any problem with customs.
Have a nice day.

Only significant numbers of watches together present a radiation risk. When shipping, they would require a special hazardous material designation, but a couple of watches won't be a problem. In the army, we would receive boxes of hundreds of watches or compasses, and they had to be marked accordingly and shipped with the usual precautions for hazmat.
Watches rarely used radium past the mid sixties, and only clocks used radium until 1978.
