Hey guy's new to the site and I love it, I;m in college and when you wear an old watch it draws a lot of attention! Recently got into watches and more specifically Bulovas when I found my first 1940 President at a thrift store and I'm hooked! However earlier today I recieved two watches for free. Both with radium dials... I currently have them sealed in three ziplock bags lol One of them is an early 1920s President model and looks amazing other is a unknown Hamilton. It would be amazing if anyone here would clean off all of the radium for me so I can fix them up!

1956 president

I have a 1956 President with a 10bu (L5) movement in it,  I have seen some here at MyBulova with 11 AC in it.  I was doing some research and had found that it was not a uncommom for bulova to do that with the slimline.  Question is, is this so or do I need to correct it with the 11AC? 

     I would hate to rebuild the 11 if I do not have to.   HELP
