There's nothing that can be done to make the holes line up (no, you really can't drill new ones).
If the hole in your case doesn't line up with the winding square in the key-wind movement, it's because your watch is not in its correct case. Blaming the problem on an over-wound mainspring would be like saying your car won't run because you have too much gas in your tank. If the watch is fully wound and it doesn't run, it's because there's something wrong with it. There is really no such thing as an over-wound watch. If the winding crown (or key) won't turn in either direction, then the watch is probably fully wound and won't run because of some other problem. If the winding crown (or key) turns forever and you never build up any mainspring tension, then your mainspring is very likely broken (or missing). If you are trying to wind your watch and can't, there could be several reasons. You may need one key to wind the watch and another to set the watch, or you may just need a single key if the winding square and the setting arbor are the same size. We also stock single keys in select sizes.

Bartlett key-wind watch in coin-silver case Lost or Missing Pocket Watch Winding Keys Best bet is to have the watch looked at because continued forced winding is almost guaranteed to cause damage. There are several wheels and gears involved in winding the watch, and damage to any one of them can cause rough winding. This means that something in the winding mechanism is not engaging properly and the watch needs to be professionally serviced. If you turn the winding knob and feel or hear any kind of grinding noise then STOP WINDING. The forward stroke of your thumb is the winding stroke. If you are right-handed, you hold the watch in your left hand and wind with the right. The winding wheel is usually equipped with a ratcheting mechanism, so the watch only winds in one direction the other direction is just "ratcheting back" to make it easier to wind. On a stem-wind watch, the watch is wound by turning the winding crown, almost always in a clockwise direction. When you wind a watch, what you are really doing is winding up the mainspring, which sits inside the mainspring barrel (a little metal "can" that keeps the mainspring from exploding like a tangled-up slinky). Pocket watches are typically either stem-wound or key-wound. How much / how often should I wind my vintage watch?
