OMG!
You're making me shy about having my Chronomatic Siffert worked on. It already has a wrong crown and crystal to go with it's mangled bezel. Mangled is a strong word, it's really not that bad. I have worn it a few days but will be at the very least having the movement serviced soon. I'll probably leave the hands and dial untouched.

: This is from some time ago where a watchmaker had a chronomatic
: Carrera dial refinished without asking the owner of the watch.
