Does anyone have a Geiger counter I could borrow???...

Soo long story short I was messing around on youtube watching videos about watches to pass the time and I stumbled upon the video below. I think its worth a watch btw if you collect really old watches (pre 70s). Basically he tests the "hotness" of several vintage watches equipped with radium painted dials and some of them were crazy higher then I would have expected. Like a lot more Soo about 6 months ago I inherited a 1940s Rolex bubble back automatic 18K pink gold / stainless in amazing condition but it wont run probably because it has not been serviced since my great grandfather passed away 50 years ago. I was planning to get it serviced and wear it every now and again on special occasions out to dinner or what not. But after watching this video now my curiosity is getting the better of me and I just have to know before I start wearing the thing with regularity if its emmiting a crazy amount of radiation. Just watch the video.
