The Watches Thread

[DaveE]

Surely super fancy machining should be able to align the thread start points on both holes and fixings to all match so all screws line up the same when they’re at the required torque?

You're quite right, and well made watches do have screw heads that all align (you can see that in the image of that YouTube video above on the watch on the left)

The screws on the actual watch face are worse because you can see that whoever assembled it was trying to align them all horizontally but each one is off by just a little.
