Cartier Santos back screws Greetings to all , I was searching archives to see if anyone had this problem before me and if there was some solution/ idea but no luck. about three or four years ago, I purchased a Cartier Santos from Silix that originally came out with an automatic and was later replaced with a quartz mvt. Changing the battery was easy, BUT the problem was when I tried to screw the back screws to close off the case, I noticed they would tun forever and not screw down at all. I was extra careful in removing them and putting them back on. I did not want to silicone the back onto case as it is a bodgie dodgie job, especially if I need to change battery again and having to remove a lot of messy crap. I like things to be as neat as possible. Has as anyone ever encountered this problem and if so, I would like your feedback on this. The best would be to retap the threads and buy new screws, which I do not find feasible for I watch that I had bought for someone that changed their mind about it.
