I was gonna say. I have a few NOS Bulova parts in my boxes that have the same type of envelopes. But no hands. Most of the hot stuff I've seen has a lot of the burnt or flaking going on. Except for a late 60s Swiss alarm pocket watch i had. The hands looked nearly pristine even though they were hot.

Looks like new band and stem cap and guessing face as well, hands are obvious
Wicked gorgeous watch though
Chunkydunk
Thanks. Band is a $20 Amazon replacement (for now). Painted face and original movements and new stem cap as noted.
curialis

Is that radium?
Chunkydunk
Originals were and replacements are not.

How hot were the old hands? Nice work btw, new crystal, polish, etc.
Chunkydunk
Geiger hot.

The new hands are tritium? They look too good to be radium.
Chunkydunk
The hands are almost 15 years newer than the watch.
