Vintage Lemania
·Dealing with a bit of a dilemma. During the summer of 2024 I had my Lemania chrono (approx 1947) serviced. I have had the watch since the end of 2015 and figured it was time as it had an unknown service history. Unfortunately upon re-assembly the watchmaker damaged the "tail" of the central chronograph hand. I brought it back and an attempt was made to bend it back, and it was slightly improved, but the bend is still very much present and it bugs me to the point of essentially retiring the watch.
Wanted to gather some thoughts on here. Could this be feasibly straightened? Or, would it be better to try and source a new hand (not sure how I would even begin). I have added a pic below. The bend can be seen below the pinion.
