Tudor Pelagos repair options?

[Jay48]

Hi guys,

I received my Pelagos and it looked great from first glance. I then noticed that the hour hand of the snowflake has a big smudge on it and it's really bothering me. I contacted my TD and he said it will cost $45 shipped to get new ones.

Is that price a little steep for hands? Would it be better if I just send the watch to Vac and let him fix it and let him do other things such as change the glass as well?

I've never had an issue with my other rep and don't really have experience with this. Any opinions would help.

Thanks :balloon:

Edit: It's pretty hard to catch in pictures so the QC pic I got didn't show it at all. http://imgur.com/a/hL2Lf

Updated with a photo. Pretty hard to catch through photos. It's noticeable on the wrist especially when lumed
