How To Not Drop Your Vintage Pocket Watch: Tighten The Bow!

Pocket Watch Repair: How to tighten a loose bow on the top of your pocket watch case and also how to replace a bow if needed. It is important to have the bow tight so that it does not come off of the case when you attach your chain to it - because we all know that ACCIDENTALLY dropping your pocket watch and breaking it will make you sad. Be careful that you don't scratch your bow because the metal is soft - it has a gold coating on it.

The pocket watch bow tools needed are a "bow tightener" and a "ring spreader".
