I have an 1133B with a wobbly crown when it is positioned to set the time or date. This is a watch that Abel Court did a great job of restoring a few years ago. Can anyone recommend a US based watchmaker who has tool 33 and can do this repair. I'm trying to avoid the expense and risk of sending this overseas but at the same time want to avoid having it damaged by someone who is ill equiped to do the work. FWIW, I am in Chicago.

Craig at Chronodeco has a very good reputation, although I haven't personally had him do any work. http://www.chronodeco.com

I believe he is based on the West Coast

...and you really don't need a Tool 33 to open a vintage Monaco.
