Best place to get laser welding done for my recently acquired 2008 Milgauss?

Was able to pick up a 2008 with white dial for $6900! I love this watch however it was previously well loved but I want to make it feel like a new watch for me.
Case has 5-6 noticeable dings and dents, especially along the edge of the lugs, and the side of the case. Bracelet and bezel are very scratched.

Who would you recommend that can bring this back to that fresh factory look and can do it so well you won’t even notice it’s been worked on?

Thanks

Post a picture so we can asses these dings,as especially today these tiny dings are normally over exaggerated.
