I'll be extra careful with the hands!
I'm guessing the service went pretty smoothly otherwise? Seems pretty straight forward looking at the docs, there's just a LOT of gears due to it being a chronograph
This one runs, but does lose time and some of the hands either don't reset properly or don't move at all. So I am thinking it needs a full clean and lubrication, and the non working hand probably needs a new coil. The pusher is kind of fucky too, but probably just dirty.
A coil is about $10
They want you to use thinner oil than 9010 but I'll probably just use 9010. I do have 8000 which is the correct viscosity, but the service time on that is much shorter.
If it comes down to it (and I fuck up the movement somehow), a new movement is about $100. It would be the newer model too, which has better accuracy and is thermocompensated.
