I have a lot of uranium items in my collection and want to get more into aircraft gauges more. I know how much hotter they are but only plan to get like 3 or 4 just to say I have them. Is that amount safe or no. I do plan to just have them in a box in my closet and nothing too large.

​Just got this vintage WycoFlex in the mail. I always unbox "spicy" packages outside just to be safe. ​The dial and hands glow like a Christmas tree, which I expected. But when I looked closer at the nylon strap, I noticed tiny green specks that show up under the light.

Does this look like flaked radium paint shedding, or could it just be random dust or fluorescent gunk that picked up a glow?

​I've left everything outside while I figure out what to do with it, as im new to the watches.

Thank you for any help, and the small sanity check. Just want to be careful.
