16610 LV F Serial Crystal Smashed

I've been going through a bit of a rough patch at the tail end of last year which was topped off at about 5am on the 31 st of December when my wife knocked my 16610 LV off the side table and onto a tiled floor. A little over a foot drop.
I was floored when i picked it up to see the crystal shattered. I put it down picked it up just to check again. I was devastated.
I took the watch to the Rolex Service centre and they have recommended a dial and hands replacement.
I went back in to see the damage to the dial and hands there is one tiny mark under the 9oclock marker i couldn't see the mark on the hands with the naked eye.
I'm posting because the dial and hands they want to replace them with are different.
The original dial has the swiss made over 5 seconds and the slightly green hour markers.
The replacement dial is a maxi dial but has different swiss made and looked a different colour on the hour markers.
My question to the Rolex forumers is whether they would be more put off by a watch that had the wrong dial and hands for the serial number or by a tiny mark.
I guess i am asking do i change the dial and hands or do i keep it original.
Thanks for all opinions
