My watchmaker here is actually a Filipino expat in his 60s, I don't know too many watchmakers that can look at a part, or where a part was, in anything from gold to 316L stainless and manufacture a replacement from scratch to a better standard than the original, but he can. I needed two inner pushers for my Cal 320 as the originals had corroded to nothing and no replacement exists from Omega, he whips them up in stainless and charges $80 before promising they'll outlast me. The other three watchmakers I spoke to advised me to sell the movement and melt the 18K case.
