Now Rolex watches are made mainly from S.steel or precious metals and in conjunction with nickel, brass or beryllium, bronze or Glucydur balance wheels and pallet forks so they are very anti-magnetic to begin with, not 100% sure if the screws used are ferrous metal.Sure the older Nivourax hairsprings are very very very slightly magnetic but you would have to come in contact with a quite a strong magnetic field to fully magnetise them.
