From what I understand the main issue came from injesting the Radium. I heard once that even an acrylic crystal would block the radiation. I'm no expert though. If you are truly worried but a cheap ginger counter.
You wear the watch. The watch does not wear you. I don't think it looks small at all. 36mm might be "small" by modern standards but would have been considered normal to large for most of wristwatch history. No one but us watch nerds will even notice the watch and most nerds will all give you the nod for going for it.
I have a 7-7/8" (20 cm) wrist and I wore a 33-mm vintage Hamilton for my wedding and my favorite wearing watch is a 38.5-mm Monta Noble. When I first got into watches I really thought 42-mm is the smallest I could go. Now that is the absolute max with my preference being sub 40-mm. I think a lot of that is because I stopped wearing watches to impress but instead I pick them because how they make me feel. Size be damned.

Sorry for the late reply. I have logged into Watch Crunch in a bit. The Dunshore is a weird watch but that is it's appeal. It is big with a long lug-to-lug. You need a broad wrist to pull it off. I generally prefer smaller watches but I have 7-7/8" wrist so I can just pull it off.
The design is unique as hell and the customer service is awesome. No complaint about the company or the watch.
My only "complaint" is about the strap that I picked. I got the deer skin leather. Super soft and nice quality but I think it wasn't rugged enough for a watch this size. Personal preference. I did also just order the rubber strap. It is a nice strap but it is freaking long. I think it could easily fit a 9.5"+ wrist! I would have gone with the ostrich if I had to do it again. For the diver I would recommend the bracelet if it is avalible.
When I put it on, I am pretty sure I am the only person with a Visitor in the state. I know they have not made many. My Dunshore serial number is only in the 700s.
I would be happy to meet up if you want to check out one in the steel.
