Refurbishment and Radium
I am only doing the movement, I haven't doen anything to the dial except remove the dustspots. It's actually better condition than the photos show (as in brighter and less grainy). The case is to be left alone as a polish will tart it up too much.
The Radium on the dial is all but dead. I checked it with a gieger counter (really! We have them here at work). But it's another reason not to touch the dial nor the hands (which are actually a very nice blue). So I guess the answer to the Radium question is: not disturb it and keep the watch nicely sealed.

Hello all BDLJ , wanted me to post this for him on the forum... I will let him post about his experience. Clean and simple, I am assuming it is a screwback case due to the movement retaining ring in the first photo, BDLJ care to comment? Good Hunting Bill...
Omega
Thanks to Bill for posting this. Photo is the seller's, not that I could do much better.... Watch is stainless steel, with - as Bill noted - a screw back case and drilled lugs. I got it via an internet trading site (no, not the big one) for a pittance. Fr...
nice piece BD, especially if you have the facility to refurb it yourself
i'd be very interested to see what you do with the dial if you do anything. i like a bit of patina on a dial, but there's a point when there's too much patina if you know what i mean. look forward to the 'after' pics. Graham
