Thanks for the research very much.. I love this dial! It goes perfectly with the "Red Gold" Case. Speaking of; Bulova I see in the ads uses the wording "Red Gold". Everyone else seems to use the words "Rose" or "Pink Gold". Does it mean anything? Does the "Red" mean more copper content? This case does seem to be a brighter, more redish color than other Rose Gold Cases I have. Anyone?
Tentative Director, and just a note about Radium: It was very much in use in watches right up til the early sixties, later in some clocks, including the late seventies. It has a half life of 1601 years, so that even if it's not glowing due to degradation of the Zinc Sulphide in the paint, it is still as radioactive as the day it was applied. Removal of it from dials is hazardous, and the dial will remain radioactive. The particles exit through the front, and are blocked to the rear by the movt and case. The main danger is from accidental ingestion and contamination. For example, you get it on your fingers and wipe your eyes. The body sees it as Calcium and stores it in the bones.

All true, just ask The Radium Girls. Allthough. Radium in a powdered and liquid form was replaced when the girls at United States Radium factory all died from painting the dials, hands of mainly aircraft instruments and trench watches. The tiny hands on bulova, not worried. The luminous post radium substance known as day-glo is long gone.
