    Hello, I'd like to respectfully disagree with your suggestion for her
    to not open the watch.  It's a $35 watch anyway.  She's not going
    into the gear train. She's doing basic kind of work that anybody
    qualified to do battery replacement ought to be able to do.  It's not
    irresponsible at all. Sneezing into the open case is, dropping it on
    the floor is, scratching the coil is, but but not yanking a stem and
    glueing a dial marker.  That's just basic.  And her friend would be
    so grateful. Crystal cement would probably be the best choice for
    glueing the dial marker since I can't see mixing up epoxy for that
    little bit.  You're totally correct though about the super glue
    reacting inside the cases. 

-Stanley
