    If not, you can buy a very cheap one from eBay. I did and I've already used it twice!

    Search " demagnetiser " as those cheap Chinese ones are not something I would put a expensive watch over. Pay the coin and get a Cousins or equal quality.

    Cheap ones are 220v for the US boys

    Believe me I am all for buying quality tools, but I suspect the only difference between those is the label on the front and $85, so I think you made the right choice. They are all made in the same factory and of course the $10 unit works with both 110 and 220 V.

    I have seen many reports from people who have bought the $10 unit and had great success with it. Remember as a watch owner, this is an occasional use item so there's no need to spend a lot on it. I use mine many times every day, so I spent the money to get a nice Grobet unit, but for watch owners and hobbyists it's really not needed.

    Cheers, Al
