anti magnetic

Here is a testament to Rolex and the anti magnetic properties of their watches. I am a Tool maker by trade and make insertable tool holders for the Screw Machine industry. I wear my rolex every day at work, either a Sub C or a GMT IIC. I work with machine tools that have permanet or electro- magnetic chucks and constently waveing my watch over them. The tooling has to be demagnatized when it comes off the chuck. I never had a problem with a magnatized Rolex.

Likewise working in the steel industry for almost 30 years working with and around very powerful electro magnets capable of picking up 20 plus tonns.And never ever have a problem with 5513, 16610, 16660, 16060, 16710 or any other watch I was wearing.Plus now work with and repair powerful RF amplifiers and transceivers that put out a very strong magnetic field again never had any problem with magnetism.

You probably aren't working on Klyston tube amplifiers then. They will snatched a ferrous screwdriver right our of your hand and yes, will magnetize a watch.

Quite true any powerful magnet could magnetise any watch if in the direct magnetic field long enough. But what I said in my post that myself have never had any problems with my watches getting magnetised.And today to de-magnetise is quite a very very simple process. But most all swiss watches today including Rolex have to pass the Swiss anti magnetisum test.Which is to withstand a strong magnetic field of 4800 Amps per meter,and to keeps on running with a maximum deviation of 15- 30 seconds per day.Now this test I am 100% sure that 99% of all watch wearers would never subject or come into contact with such a strong magnetic field.
