Crown and tube repair?

I'm looking for a local, SF Bay Area, watchmaker that can do a repair or replacement of the crown/tube for my 1018.
Any recommendations?

What I’ve done over the years is get the codes for the tubes and crowns. I’ve come accros many over the years in the nos blisters for reasonable sums. Mang are listed at outrageous prices but if you are patient you can get the parts. I use my independent to do the install. If you have good orig parts it will certainly go well.
