All the other options mentioned here, like laser welding the case, “repairing” the threads, etc. would mean finding an independent watchmaker. You take the risk that the work doesn’t succeed - and there is no refund for the expensive time taken doing this.

These are valid points. I really don't want a new case and/or caseback.
After reading some replies and what others have to say, I realize a much more attainable outcome would be making the watch water resistant. Do you think this could be done by a competent watchmaker with relatively low risk?
