hello there members , revisiting and inspecting my collection , learning valuable lessons here on OF thank you, this one I noticed has the hour and minutes hands kind of bend out of shape not sure if you can tell from the pics , but question is how can I safely flatten them without breaking , and affecting the lume, the dial looks ok to me so I’ll try improve the watch as needed , any advise will be appreciated , this is one of my eBay purchases , many many years ago, thank you , kazd

I see hand issue I would be very gentle. Watchmakers here will have suggestion.
The lume is green which is not original and text is heavy
Scroll to end of this thread to see a good original example.

Looking at Teerapat's example and then the OP, another issue I see is that the OP dial edge is visible and a gap is noted between dial and case. I suspect there is a missing gold tension ring, or possibly rehaut on OP watch. Or possibly not the correct dial for the case. Another reason to pass on it.

I think the dial has almost certainly been repainted the font is rather off - especially the ‘M’s

Here's an original 2627 waffle dial, posted by @qazwsx1 several years ago:
