·I am in the market for my first Speedmaster and I had been eyeing the black and gold Tokyo Olympics version (ref 522.20.42.30.01.001). My worry is that because I work in IT and am around laptops, phones, servers, etc all day every day that the 1861 movement in that watch will get magnetized constantly and become too much of a pain to wear that it won't be useful as a daily driver. From everything I have googled / looked up on the forums here it seems that it is pretty easy to accidentally magnetize a watch, and while it is also easy to fix, it would be fairly annoying if I had to do it weekly or more often. Am I being overly worried? Or is it really that easy to magnetize and I should get the new Speedmaster with the 3861 movement certified by METAS? I love the look of the black and gold but not enough to spend $7-8k and keep it saved for special occasions.
