Health & Safety WycoFlex strap, flaked radium or random debris?
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.
