: Well, the magentism would not permanently ruin
: an automatic watch... but the watch would
: need to be professionally demagnetized to
: correct the problem.

: Yes, it does sound like quartz would be the
: best. The other alternative is to buy an
: auto, but not wear it to work.

: Just the bracelet. The 2055 is the US version
: which has the same bracelet the Seamaster
: has used for several years. The 2255 is the
: International version which comes on a
: different bracelet, more like the one the
: Speedmaster comes on. But the watch itself
: is exactly the same.
