Rolex Buckles

The question refers to Rolex buckles (strap buckles), not watches.

Ah, very true, my mistake. I threw that out there in hopes we would get to see some pics and could make a more definite statement. I was hoping to steer things away from thinking that the buckle would end up magnetizing the watch.
