In Response To: Re: the advice I posted ()

: 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.

I have a renewed appreciation of the accuracy and level of assurance that one gets from peer reviewed journals.
