Correct about brass. Stainless is steel, steel is a ferrous metal, and is affected by magnetism.
Polishing stainless steel?

Sanding then re-chroming then repeating several times has been a tedious and unfruitful tactic for me. I would put an ad somewhere and look on ebay for a suitable core that has a good bezel.
To re-chrome again and again to build up the pits will get way too expensive and may prohibit the bezel from fitting properly on the clock body.

OK, then perhaps you'd like to perform an experiment to prove your theory?

See if this helps:
The magnetic behavior of stainless steels varies considerably, ranging from paramagnetic (nonmagnetic) in fully austenitic grades to hard or permanent magnetic behavior in the hardened martensitic grades. Stainless steels have not found widespread use solely as magnetic materials since their magnetic capability is almost always inferior to conventional magnetic materials. However, there are circumstances and applications where the magnetic or nonmagnetic behavior can significantly influence fabrication and use of these alloys.

because any steel product leaves residue and will cause it to tarnish and in some instances light surface rust. I have had 316SS bolts made that got to the job site and started to develop surface rust....Why....because the dies and heading dies in the manufacturing process are steel and leave residue.....simple scotchbrite pad will clean that up.
