Rolex 1016 vs klystron tube

[kingc]

Greetings. I'm newbie here and sure am enjoying the posted content.
Currently my collection includes the recent Sub date and latest Explorer. Really enjoy the Explorer as a daily wear.
Back in the mid 80's my stepdad was so generous in giving me his heavily beat up '69 1016. I took it to an AD, and shortly thereafter was amazed to see a newly restored wonder.
Used to work with highly magnetic klystron amplifier components. One day, forgot to remove the 1016, and it came in proximity to an extremely offensive klystron monster magnetic field. That watch seemed ruined for sure. Stuck it in a drawer and forgot about it.
Was wondering if a klystron vs a Milgauss battle could be won?
Just to give you an idea of the ferocity of a klystron, it can hold a big f-ing screwdriver on a string in horizontal position from three foot in distance.

Could David meet his match?

This was like the klystron that destroyed my Explorer 1016. Not sure how many gauss it was, but compared to a recent Hodinkee article about watches vs magnetism, this thing makes their magnet look like a pimp on a giant. Since it puts out 3 KW of pure microwave energy into space, it must need some kinda mega-gogga-gigga gauss to do that.

The beast that pummeled my poor 1016🤮........



100 plus pounds of pure Gaussian delight....
