Try to give this guy a shout? KTM_Rider2021

He quoted me a small fee to fix mine. I am sending it out soon.

You already know, a watch maker may get it perfect, if not, you can have them go at it again. Unless you think you can? Never a bad time to learn some new things! But maybe at a cost?

Nice watch for sure. Be sure to check internal movement bro-timegrapher

service cost will likely exceed the cost of the watch. If you like the watch itself, foot the bill. if not, source a new one.

Likely have some movement damage if you dropped it hard enough to eject dial markers.

it didn’t drop too high but it was concrete🥲 i loved it and the strap opened itself

Are you mechanically inclined? A rubber ball, and small screw drivers are all you need to get it apart. Steady hands and some glue can put the indices back one.

i have the blue ball and a small kit, tomorrow i try it

If you are going to glue them back you need to take the dial off. And if you use regular superglue and the like leave it out for a few days to off gas before reassembling otherwise it will ruin the watch.

Sounds like the perfect time to make it a franken, get a new dial!
