Watch repair, Geiger?

Hi. Amateur watch repairer here 🙋‍♂️

I often buy watches on resale platforms such as eBay / Vinted etc.

Now, these resellers obvious buy bulk lots of watches and sell individually.

As I am an amateur and this hobby does not line my palms with gold (quite the opposite) working on Radium pieces make no sense. (Not worth the risk)

What I am worried about is the fact that the watch I purchased could of been in a bulk buy with Radium pieces that may or may not have had crystals on them. Flaking lume maybe? I am worried about Radium contamination on the watches I buy. Would the GMC be able to check this?

Thanks in advance!
