Hi Guys, just wondering if Rolex Gold Plated buckles are magnetic?

1505 model is 40 micron gold plaque among some other models Steve, so not an entirely accurate statement. Rolex did this late 60's to 70,s

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.

go out and get yourself a magnet, the easiest way to find out!

...you are INCORRECT.

...there were a few PLATED Rolex models, including the 1550.

...just look them up.

I appreciate the shoutout with the caps lock there, but had corrected myself above
