Hello all, i am new to this forum, but have had Rolexs all my life, my current watch is a SS Sub.... I did a google search due to the fact that I just demagnitized mine at my local jewler, had a bit of fast running, about 45 seconds per 24 hrs..... and now we wait and see..... the fast running did coincide with me standing next to a lage magnet about 3 weeks ago.... -Andy

Well, the Demagnetizer worked out perfectly, some people belive that magatisim will advance your time by hours per day and not minuets, well a mild case of magatisim will advavce by 45 sec per day as I found out, and now I am back to the same time as time.gov, my server at work and my Jungas clock....... so all in all....... get your watch Demagnetized......

Well 96discose7 guess we now know where not to stand huh? ;o) seems you had first hand experience with magnetism and it's effects on the internal workings of a Rolex.

BTW, Hope you enjoy TRF :o)

yup...... but think about it.... if you were to take away the factor of having the watch right next to a magnet, there is magnatisim all around us every day......
so why not stop by a jewler once a year or so and take 30 seconds and demagnitize?
