Is it safe:)?

On a serious note, if that is an MRI wouldn't the magnetic field magnetize the watch?

Hamish · 27 January 2015, 01:13 PM

thats new!

autohorology · 27 January 2015, 01:22 PM

Interesting...never seen that done before.

Awesome thread. Wonder what that did to the movement.

Poly · 27 January 2015, 02:20 PM

Great picture, but I would be scared half to death that it just ruined a 100k+ timepiece?

Hopefully he knows something we don't or he's not a genius

It's a scout image from a CT scanner, not an MRI. There is ionizing radiation but no magnetic fields involved. The guy is probably a radiologist and is not gonna risk his six figure investment!

Wow that is very cool!

brandrea · 27 January 2015, 10:22 PM

Perhaps a new way to authenticate timepieces

Racerdj · 28 January 2015, 02:56 AM

Very interesting!

yjfang · 28 January 2015, 04:05 AM

I have a degausser...happy to help out if necessary!

jon_jon · 28 January 2015, 05:37 AM

Cool to see it under the scanner. I wonder if the owner is ever going to enjoy taking it out of the box to wear it or just purchased it as an investment for future re-sale.

red1108nyc · 28 January 2015, 06:14 AM

Interesting~
