Actually, no it won't. Rolex uses a self winding mechanical movement.

Even the good fakes use automatic movements.

Only the cheaper fakes would be harmed by EMP. And that's
questionable, given the steel case sheilding.




I wasn't aware of the show but I gather it's about what happens in a small
town after some sort of super-duper EMP pulse, more intense than the
Starfish prime test which couldn't even manage to burn out mass quantities
of early 60s germanium transistor radios.

Wow. An EMP pulse strong enough to destroy everything with a circuit board,
yet has no effect on everyone with a central nervous system.

I think I'll stick with domestic shortwave radio for doomsday info. It's
every bit as misinformative as TV, but far more entertaining.

Sorry for the 2nd post but this was too interesting to ignore.
