Don't know where in the USA you are located so this is just a general response for any location. Visit some local watchmakers and just strike up a conversation. Get the feel of what you think their reaction would be to working on a rep. Lots of them don't really mind. It is worth the time investment, there will be other occasions where you may need help and having a working friendship with a local watchmaker can be a great asset! It worked for me!

No he makes it very, very clear what he will and will not repair. He does very well, at what he does. And he is good enough to know what he can do. Read the reviews.

No one could possibly tell you anything as you have given no information about what it is you wish to do. Crystal replace is really not a thing. Its like saying I would like to date a girl.
