Any thoughts on these two?

It would be for my wife and she's used to borrowing my seiko at 37 mm. I had a 32 mm watch briefly and it felt tiny, but then I was used to something quite big at the time...

check for radium, particularly on the hands. Not ideal as a daily wearer if so IMO
Thanks, never heard of that being a thing. I wonder if I can get the seller to point a geiger counter at it...
