No easy solution for a wristwatch.
Tubes that are intended for socketing have thicker pins, so clipping them
will put the tube under a lot of stress. Even a rotary tool with a cutoff
wheel will subject the tube to a lot of vibration.
I wouldn't even think of bending the pins.
I think that
1). a shear cutter should be ok
and/or
2). wrap wire around the pin [and secure with silver-bearing epoxy?]
