I know this general is mostly for shitposting but maybe somebody here would actually know

I bought a grand seiko (an old one so seiko grand seiko) pic related with the intention of reselling it since I got it for really cheap, the caveat being that it doesn't work

After troubleshooting for a while I tested it with a magnetometer app on my phone and it definitely starts to go haywire whenever I wave it over the phone leading me to believe that it is actually magnetized

The thing is I've read that since the spring drive mechanism is that weird mechanical quartz hybrid thing that there may be some kind of magnetic component built into the watch itself, so in this case I'm not sure if some magnetism being detected by the meter is expected or not

tl;dr if I bring a grand seiko spring drive that I suspect to be magnetized to a watch repair place and ask them to demagnetize it do I risk fucking the watch up more than it already is

inb4 just send it to grand seiko i will but only if i have to since it costs several hundred dollars and id be lucky to get it back in four months
