A weird but serious question.

[Mick006]

Get well soon. Here’s to a speedy recovery.

[JSolution]

Best wishes I don’t have an answer for your question, but if it brings you happiness just strap that baby straight in when you get home.

Good luck.

[George58]

I hope for a speedy recovery and wear your watch

[Rolexguy$]

I don't know the answer to your question buddy but I wish you speedy recovery.

[Driver8]

As others have said, I'm sure the radiation levels involved will not cause any issue for a mechanical watch. After all, radium was used on dials for quite some time.

But ultimately that's all insignificant compared to what both you, Wayne, and Wcdhtwn are going through, so I wish you both a full and swift recovery.

[Giangos]

Best wishes OP.
Looking forward to the day you post an incoming and tell us of your recovery to good health

Hope you have a speedy recovery, the watch will be fine.

Make sure to treat yourself with a new watch after as well!

A watch is not biological, I'm thinking no harm. But I'm not sure about this. Does anyone know the answer?

Best of luck..thoughts & prayers

I think zero effect, and wife/i send our best for a speedy recovery.

[Vishy26]

Best wishes, Wayne.

You go get that son of a bitch. Then buy a new watch to celebrate good heath.

It's not an apples to apples with your treatment, but they don't want anything near the beams during the treatment. Of course that may be more due to potential interference with the treatment than damaging something, and probably being way over cautious.

Praying for you for a speedy recovery.

Good luck with your treatments, kick the cancer's ass.

Good luck sir. I don’t know you, but you are in my prayers.
Radium couldn’t hurt the mechanical movements and it was inside the case.

Very best wishes. Hope it all works out for you.

[opresso]

Wishing you a quick recover to good health. Wear the watch if it brings you joy and do not worry about it. When you get to the other side of better health, the watch can be a reminder of your journey.

[RogerOP]

Screw the watch, you got to have the positive energy to get healthy again!

All the best mate

[mountainjogger]

All the best Wayne.

[Largoshark]

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[CarlOver]

Best to you!

[japenney]

I am not sure about the watch. As a heath care professional I hope you can stay positive throughout this difficult time and I wish you all the best. Stay strong. Today I will certainly not take my health for granted and I thank you for that.

[Njkdog]

there's all different kinds of radiation, magnetism is a form of radiation, same with sunlight. Those can both have adverse effects on your watch.
the type of radiation you're talking about should be fine.
God speed, kick cancer's butt!

[bestwatch1]

Follow the treatment and you will have years of enjoyment. You are in good hands. Don't worry about the radiation to your watch. If something happens then send it for service. Positive thoughts!!!

[dominico]

Speedy recovery and God bless !

[Rafeeq]

Please take care of yourself, Wayne, and think positive thoughts. I know the watch will be fine, and I hope you'll be around a long time to enjoy it and everything else as well.
