Can Anyone here recommend a watchmaker to fix a wheel?

I am trying to locate a watchmaker with the knowledge and equipment to fix a staff of a hard to find chronograph wheel.
It is for Longines cal. 30CH part 8000

Please respond if you know of one.
Thanks.

This wheel is really hard to find, are the teeth still ok? If yes, it´s possible to dissasemble the wheel and make a new arbor with pinion - turned between centers by hand.

thank you for your reply. My watchmaker does not have the equipment to do this. I read that trying to disassemble the wheel can be tricky as the wheel is friction fit to the arbor. Suggestion was to drill into the existing arbor and weld a mew extension.

Repivoting would be the appropriate repair.
