Magnetised?

Hi All,

I had my 5 year old Seamaster Chrono Diver serviced a couple of months ago. All was well until 4 days ago when it suddenly lost 10 minutes overnight. I reset it and it was running OK but losing 3/4 seconds a day rather than gaining 4 that it had been running at. Then I woke up this morning and it had lost 3 hours overnight! The only thing I'm wondering is the night it first lost time I had been to a rock concert, down at the front, and although I was not within the immediate vicinity of any of the speakers is it possible the watch has some how got magnetised from the speakers/other electronics? Is this feasible, could it be that sensitive? Any of you knowledgeable guys have a view. If it is magnetised how do you fix it? Thanks all.
