My INSANE "Watchmaking" Camera System ("Watchmaking" Is In Quotes For A Reason!)

Forget about watchmaking. All I care about is getting my camera system working perfectly ;)

Before opening any vintage watch or clock for the first time I recommend checking it for radium paint. I didn't do that in this video because it wasn't the first time that I worked on these movements. For more information on radium and how to check for it using a geiger counter see either of these two videos:

The NetIO GC10 that I use is no longer made. It uses an SBM-20 geiger muller tube, which is also used in the GQ GMC-300E and other geiger counters. If you find one of those it should perform similarly. @VintageWatchServices shows the use of the GQ GMC-300E in this video: https://youtu.be/N6oPf3Pq6bU
