BTW to answer the original poster's question, if there is no Rolex-factory-trained watchmaker with a word-of-mouth reputation (the equivalent of DAG to Leica) in your locality, I can recommend Stoll & Co. (americaswatchmaker.com) which uses by many jewelry shops as subcontractor for repairs. Also a good place to ask for recommendations for local watchmakers is watchuseek.com.

Oh here we go again.........There is always one isnt there??
I refered to the your "Crown" as a button simply because "In the Trade" at least in the UK the crown is most often refered to as a "button" also most of the public refer to it as a winder not button and most certainly not crown...So in practice one tends to use the termanology that is most easily recognised.
When one needs a "crown" replacement with its stem, it is called a button and stem replacement...get it??
But I guess if all one does is read Rolex liteature from cover to cover this is easily understood.
Rolex still make models that are not Chronometers, and I listed the "positional errors" as an area of interest to those wanting to tweek the best out of their watches....Also if your "Superlative Officially Certified Chronometer " has not been serviced for a few years and suffering in timekeepingt his positional information may indeed STILL help.
