Another crazy vintage watch restoration from Marshall, this time it's a Rolex GMT Master 6542 from 1958!   These routinely go for $100,000 or more, so restoring one is a big deal! On top of that, this barn find watch has the original Bakelite bezel, an extra rarity that comes with extra challenges! Enjoy this one, it's quite a ride!

Marshall... First off... THANK YOU for getting me into this hobby! I bought all the tools and I have been buying up cheap pocket watches to practice on and a few other wristwatches, Tissot, Record, Wittenauer, etc, once I get good enough. My concern is that a few that I have set off the Geiger counter like yours did here. It's my understanding that there is really nothing to fear from a sealed watch but you DO NOT want to inhale or otherwise ingest the dust. You speak a little about that here but do you wear a mask when doing this? Do you clean your space and tools? I could swear I have seen you remove radium from hands in some of your other videos. Can you talk a little about that please?
