Strapless Rolex or how to surgically attach a Rolex to your wrist!

I'm thinking why not, if this guy can do it... then I realised, not possible to do with any Rolex...
Stainless Steel NOT magnetic
Gold NOT magnetic
DSSD NOT magnetic (Titanium caseback)...

but i think springbars is magnetic, isn't it? he just need to make some springbar "holder" attached to his body, and the rolex will be strapless.

He doesn't have to worry about the springbar breaking and losing his "watch"
BUT
I would be careful walking past metal filing cabinet (he could get stuck!) or if he works at a machine shop on a lathe, would pick-up all the filings and shavings...

The rare earth magnets used for implantation tend to lose strength over time.
They would need replacement at a later date anyway.

Silliest thing I have heard in quite a long time----just crazy! Young people don't realize that in 20 years this will look so foolish---just as most of our pictures from the 70's with crazy clothes and hair look now.
