Watchmaker service in New Jersey

Hello All,
I was hoping to get some help finding a good independent watchmaker to service my old Tudor Prince jumbo. it is 54 years old, and the crown keeps coming out, movement keeps time just fine. I took it to a Rolex dealer and they told me that they will service the entire movement and replace any and all parts that are worn out, but since the watch is so old they cannot warranty that they can help me at all (how stupid does that sound??!!) Anyone know a watch service store in New Jersey?
Thanks for the help in advance.

There is a watchmaker tucked away in the back corner of the Trenton Farmer’s Market who’s helped me out a lot with various watch issues (bracelet sizing, fixing bent end-links, crystal swaps, battery changes). Purchased a O.P. Date 1500 from him many years ago which he had serviced and it ran flawlessly. I had the same issue with crown popping out and he replaced the crown tube. I’m sure he’d be able to fix your watch, but sourcing parts may be an issue. I believe his name is Ivan?

Are you opposed to shipping your watch to an independent watchmaker that specializes in vintage watches?
