[kronos]

hello

one of my watches´' back cover is detached(broken hinge) I dont want to repair hinge, but simply, keep the cover closed, firmly attached but this not happens. How could I do that? thanks

The pressure from the attached hindge point and the pressure on the other side against the lip is what holds the cover on. You need both points to hold the cover on. If the watch is a poor quality one you can solder or even bond the hinge in place . Then you can snap the cover shut. If it is an expensive watch you will need to have the hindge professionally repaired so as not to take away from the watch. Or you could look for another case all together and just recase the movement.
