Fracture Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I was wondering if the antimagnetic properties of reps are on the level of gens? Reason why I am asking is that I have to wear an identification badge on my upper clothing for work. I've chosen to attach it with neodymium magnets since it's fast, clean and easy. My watch head has never touched the badge and I'm sure it never will, but it often does come close (with my wrist in between). Is this something to be worried about? Can it affect my watches in time?

Nightwatch Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hi J3 think they are less antimagnetic than waterproof:) Even gens need a 2nd plate inside on the back. If it starts running faster it´s magnetized. Pls. post Your experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 This had me interested so thx after all it´s no big deal once 35 usd apparatus shipped to fix all watches (indian model): to test if it´s magnetized You may put it near a compass - if magnetized the needle moves slightly (or a lot:) http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/WATCHSALES04/WATCHACCESSORIES4/DemagnetizerSalesTable.htm http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/WATCHSALES04/WATCHACCESSORIES4/ANCHORDemagnetizerIndia/ANCHORDemagnetizerIndiaMade.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracture Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Thanks for the link, it's indeed an easy fix in case it does get magnetised. The swiss model is only 10$ more. Think I'll get one of those, don't want my watches to catch fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I tested a PO when they first came out and it did have some protection, using strong magnets I could stop other watches gen and rep but I could not stop the planet ocean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
