:If you can live with it, leave the case as it is, as Par says, once you've done it there is no going back. However if you just can't live with it, West Repairs are excellent. Richard West is not only a expert workman, he's a really nice guy too,he has done quite alot for work for me on old Heuers,including several Monaco's,Autavia's etc and relumed hands for me on more than couple of watches, he does a proper job.
The resetting of the chrono hand is probobly an easy fix, these hands do tend to come loose on the flyback resetting,a simple remove and refit will most likely sort that.
If the watch runs ok, i suggest West Repairs would be your best option, you'll get a quality job and not loose your watch to Switzerland for 6 mths or so !.
Good luck and best regards
Bryan
