PS: The paint in the watch hands and numbers is a mix of doped zinc sulfide and Radium, not Cesium. They use the Radium alpha particles emission to excite the zinc sulfide. On some watches , in pitch black, and after a few minutes for the eyes to get used to the dark, you can see the blinks of the alpha particles hitting the phosphorus.
Do you know if there are any leads on a pre-built version of one of these?
