The only thing I can think of if you retain the case is to passivate the stainless steel and then ensure it is protected against sweat/perspiration.
While stainless steel on its own is reasonably stable, having it in contact with other metals (specifically copper) can introduce galvanic (dissimilar metal) corrosion, especially if there is a nice salty electrolyte (like Singapore perspiration) in the mix.
Gold and stainless are relatively happy together, but when the gold is not pure, but an alloy containing, among other things, copper......then there is a potential for potential (difference that is).
If you were to source a donor case for it, look to those originating from Scandinavia, Iceland, or even Great Britain. They are the only places I know where sweat doesn't drip down your arm in Summer.
