Hi Bridkarl, I don’t work on things as tiny and intricate as a watch but what I’ve been using to hold small screws to the tip of a screwdriver is the stuff they use to seal off where your power line enters the top of the meter base. It’s a very malleable putty that is used for weatherproofing. I bough some at Home Depot to fix my leaking meter base. It comes as a flat bar of putty well wrapped!
