Snap-on case-back problem
Is there any way of tightening a loose snap-on, gold-filled wristwatch case back. Mine goes on and stays on OK, but is loose and can be rotated.

Hi Dan,
You could run a mill-grain tool around the underside lip of the bezel or case back. The mill-grain tool is essentially a hand held micro knurler, used in jewelry work. This works well when just a bit more grip is wanted. The marks left are very subtle and the process is simple and less perilous than burnishing or attempting to reform the case.

Cort,
Could you post a pic of the mill grain tool?
Thanks
