: Chuck, what's your take on the best method to

: of stuff, some methods seem less effective

: here, i'm just wanting to learn...;-)
From what I've read, there are special machines made for watchmakers that will demagnetize a watch. The watch doesn't even have to be taken apart in any way, and it's a quick procedure that can usually be done while you wait.
If you happen to have a compass, you can use it to check your watch to see if it has become magnetized. If you hold the compass near the caseback and the needle moves, the watch has become magnetized. When watches all of a sudden start to run very fast, magnetization is the most likely cause.
