    Hi Stevie; Here's my opinion.  Don't try to solder anything onto the
    watch case.  It probably isn't going to want to stick, and if you get
    things too hot (and who knows what that will be), you'll damage or
    discolor the plating or warp the article or otherwise destroy it.  If
    you're bent on attaching something to it, consider designing an
    element that can be rivited on.
