If you want to preserve the possibility of selling the watch one day (as I, at least, tend to do) you'll probably need to get it overhauled, because that's a pretty extensive list of bruises that you'd *have* to disclose to prospective buyers. And it's going to look good overhauled anyway!
But, somehow, it's still keeping time: is +7sec/day even out of spec for an IWC? And it sounds like you don't mind the cosmetic damages either--in fact, it sounds like you kind of appreciate the cosmetic damages! So if you aren't worried about sale/trade value for the watch, I'd say just keep it as is and wear happily.
As an example of the latter: I bought the Journe in my profile picture at a significant discount because it was in need of service. Movement was past due, lots of nicks and bumps on the case, big gash on the crown. I had nothing done, and I've owned it and worn it regularly for five years since then! And, for what it's worth, I could now sell it for 3x what I paid then, and nobody would bat an eye about the service question! Though I don't think you can bet on that last part...
