collector's nightmare

hi all,
I have to tell my frustration about my christmas present.

Monaco: gave it to reputable watchmaker in my region. I told him "do not touch the dial", no case or other parts to treat , only solve the problem with the chronograph", cal 11i screw 58180 had no grip any more , therefore start/stop do not work correct. He wasn't able to fix it, or what ever and gave it away to a friend for help. This guy overhauled the movement , now it runs 10 min faster per hour, at the end I presume, he want to clean the dial. Hour and minute hands are changed, but others were the same. Ok this alteration at the hands I understand, but ....puhhh

before

and after

sadly not the other way round, do - I don't think so, but I ask - someone has a dial for sale??

anyway

merry chistmas to all, and a happy happy hunting year 2016

cheers

mich
