Soldering broken watch feet on a Polar explorer dial?

[imperio]

I dropped a Polar 216570 off for servicing and just received a call 15 mins ago that one of the feet on the dial was broken and I essentially have 3 options:

1. Solder it back on, but there is a small risk of discoloration on the white face of the dial
2. Replace with a new dial. Safer method but I would probably have to source one myself as it is difficult for the watchmaker to source one (he did say he can try but chances of obtaining one is not high)
3. Leave as is, but a sudden movement (I assume a hard flick of the wrist) might unseat the dial, causing it to come into contact with the hour hand which would stop the hand from moving.

Thoughts on this, anyone? I've communicated that I would like to proceed with #1 as recommended and am praying that all goes well. I'm assuming that if it doesn't go well, I can send it off to RSC for a dial replacement? I was told to expect an update in a few days so I assume work isn't going to be carried out immediately... If this is a horrendously wrong choice I probably have time to call back.

I asked how the watch feet might have gotten broken and was told it might have been due to a hard impact to the watch. Which makes sense given there are a couple of small but noticeable dings near the crown guard area when I bought it.

Also, other folks have posted on this forum that this place I sent the watch to has a Rolex parts account/access to one - is a replacement dial hard to source if you have a Rolex parts account? Curious.
