Hi

I have seen people who were complaining of their watch going too fast. Some calibers have a strong antimagnteic resistance so they won't be subject to strong magnetism like the caliber found in the old and new IWC ingenieurs, the rolex 1575, 1525, 3035,3135 and some old omega calibers like the 30t2, 33x-35x,50x,55x,56x,75x,101x,102x and 103x. Not the case of modern eta based calibers. I have seen some people at my watchmaker who went with their watches for demagnitizing them. Most of them had modern watches. And my watchmaker generally advises not wear a watch to close to a computer screen or any magnetic field over the medium or long run because it can affect the accuracy.
