I made a Geiger counter with 50 tubes and show here what happens when you put a Uranium-glazed plate on it:

Good job. I thought the watch dials would be more radioactive than the plate.

I'm a watchmaker, and know the radioactivity of old dials, and hands, are not dangerous unless snorting the inside of watches, but it is still on my mind when Servicing.

Old Westclock dials/hands supposedly are higher in radioactivity than other brands.

I've been thinking about building a Geiger counter in the cost is not to high.
