Ugh, help with power reserve hand

So my 233 Pan came in today. It is a pretty amazing replica and am stoked to wear it....until.... the small hand indicating the power reserve turned upside down then fell off and is just boucing around in the case. Not a huge deal in the sense that it is so small, but worried that it may damage other components. Still a bit dissapointed. Any recommendations? Maybe try to repair it myself? It looks like it just sits on a pin, but still worried. Should I take it to a local watch repairman (assuming he will work on replicas?

Thanks for your input.

The hand fell off the first day you had it? I'd contact the dealer and send it back for repair/replacement, if I were you. This is nearly the equivalent of a DOA watch, IMO.

What a pity...so easy repair.

I would try a local watchmaker...probably cheapter than shipping to China.
