Lume fell off GMT hand

I have ~1978 matte dial GMT Master (ref 1675) that I purchased from HQ Milton a couple years ago. I live the watch and I wear it everyday. This afternoon, I noticed that the lume had fallen off the GMT hand and was floating around.

I took it to a local dealer, who was going to send it to a Rolex Service Center. After reading more here, I realize I don’t want that. It was too late to get it back today, but they assured me they won’t send it and I can pick up on Monday. (But that also means I can’t post pics.)

Can anyone recommend someone who can help me? I don’t want the watch polished or anything replaced other than the GMT hand if necessary - and I’d like to have the patina match the rest of the watch in that case. Ideally, someone will be able to reattach/re-stabilize the lume that came off. It’s still in one triangular piece.

I’m in the Philadephia area, but I would be happy to send it somewhere if I need to.
