Unlikely, as firstly the 32xx is highly anti-magnetic due to the materials used in the Chronergy escapement, and secondly when a watch is magnetised it usually speeds up dramatically, not slows down, due to the effective "shortening" of the hairspring.

I say "usually" above, as a watch can slow down as a result of magnetism if parts other than the hairspring is magnetised but it's much more unusual (and I assume Rolex has that covered in terms of anti-magnetism too).
