Nope no glow but I did check it with a LED flash light? Light is light right?
Pretty much white with the cream coloured end of each needle and the numbers look a little like the day old whip cream...a little crusty and off white? I am not gonna run out and buy rent a gyger counter to make sure. Maybe the radiation chick that goes to Chernobyle will come and check for us...? just a thought.

This is a good description of the dangers of old instruments.
Basically, leave them alone. If you use them as designed they offer little danger so long as you don't carry them around in your pocket continuously. Looks like we all have to destroy our pre-1960's watches! http://www.trademarklondon.com/Radiation/index.html Lang
