Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page. When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose.

If you need to return an item, simply login to your account, view the order using the 'Complete Orders' link under the My Account menu and click the Return Item(s) button. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days). You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. We'll also pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.).

If you are concerned, don’t obtain a radium watch.You may return most new, unopened items within 15 days of delivery for a full refund. I make no promises about the safety of this or any guarantees. I hope this helps, but you will have to decide for yourself what your risk tolerance is. For what it’s worth, I’ve kept my radon detector near the watch in this room and the amount of radon detected is extremely low (not quite undetectable - higher than the average in my home, but equivalent with most background levels of radon in the US). (The watch could end up right next to my nose where I’d breathe in gas for hours.)ģ) I store the watch in an open box in a well-ventilated room (that is, near an open window) away from the bedrooms. It’s a special piece.Ģ) I do not sleep with the watch on. I certainly do wear it a few times a month and enjoy it when I do. I decided that it was likely that the risk was low - and this is important - low but not zero.ġ) I don’t wear the watch every day. Obviously this gas is released when the box is opened.īased on this, here’s what I decided for myself. I put my watch in a closed watch box with a radon detector and recoded unsafe levels of radon that built up within the box. But like I say, there’s not much of it.ģ) Radium decays to radon gas. This radiation does penetrate and go to the bone. Something like 10% of the NRC’s rating of the average annual dose of radiation a person might receive. Comparable to something like two-thirds of the annual radiation you’d receive if you lived in Denver. (Even if it gets thru the watch case, alpha particles won’t go deeper than your skin.)Ģ) The amount of gamma ray radiation is low.

And my understanding is that we aren’t seeing a lot of skin cancer on the wrist from this radiation. I do plan to test this with my particular watch at some point. However it’s not clear how much of this is blocked by the case of the watch and going into the skin. So where you may end up may be different.ġ) The amount of alpha particle radiation emitted by the watch is high. FYI I’m not a scientist nor a watch expert. I did a bunch of reading and here is where I netted out for me. I recently obtained a watch with a radium dial. /r/WatchExchange for buying, selling, trading watchesīanner photo courtesy of /u/northscylla Please take a look at our community rules and FAQ before contributing!./r/WatchHorology our sister subreddit for horology, watch appreciation, history, technical discussion and related topics.Simple Questions and Recommendations ThreadĬome hang out in the Official /r/Watches Discord!
