Oops. GMT-IIc took nasty spill on concrete

Learned my lesson about poorly fitting screws. My GMT-IIc fell 5 feet onto a concrete sidewalk. Good news: it landed on the bezel insert and spared the rest of the watch. The bezel insert was badly scraped, and since it is not ceramic there was no shattering issue. The crystal didn't chip whatsoever. Had this been a gen, I'd have a shattered bezel insert and possibly more damage to the watch.

However, the date is no longer vertically centered within the date window. The various mall watch repair guys said there is nothing they can do about it. One guy tried adjusting the dial feet a bit but it didn't make much of a difference. Any advice on this?

Side note: this watch has a gen eta installed and had no alignment issue prior to the drop.
