I think one thing that would and does help when servicing a pocket watch, is to be sure and lubricate the threads on the watch case. This is extra important on railroad watches as the front cover is removed to set the time.
What we have found that works the best is the old solution from years ago. This is beeswax. The type to use would be the same as jewelers use to lubricate the 3/0 saw blades that are used for sawing precious metals.
The beeswax can be worked into the case threads and when this is done, you will notice how nice the case covers will screw on and off.
Give it a try!
