watchmaker that is reasonable for service

I have just bought a 1958 Oyster date 6694 Precision and it needs some work. The crown is loose and it does not run smoothly. Can anybody recommend a reasonable watchmaker? I bought the watch for a reasonable price but don't want to find service and repair charges at excessive rates. Regards, Simon
