How to use a Greiner Antimag 2 de-magnetiser......

By: sclamb (registered) Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

I bought a Greiner Antimag 2 de-magnetiser mainly because my Panerai 249 has suddenly gone from +4 seconds per day to +50 seconds per day and I thought it may have become magnetised (which can cause such behaviour). Unfortunately I do not have any instructions in english so I was hoping someone here may know how to use the machine.

Here is a picure of it:



Thanks.

PAM249 now running at around +2s for the 12 hours since I de-magnetised it and reset the time. I just wish I knew what had magentised it in the first place.
