I need a watch maker in the DC/B'more area to service my 2824-2 mov't. Any suggestions?

Since posting this I was fortunate to buy a BK/WM9 from a member. Absolutely stunning watch. It has a few scratches that I have buffed out, but I'm concerned about the winding. First off when I unscrew the crown, I don't feel any gearing when I try to wind it. When I pull the crown to the date position, the date wheel doesn't advance. When I move it to the last position I am able to set the time and forward the date by winding 24hrs. I hope this can easily be fixed. Any advice would be appreciated.

That's what I thought. Is there a reliable source here in the CONUS who I can pay to do an upgrade?

Is there a huge difference (other than price) between say an Asian 2813-2 and a Swiss 2836-2 movem't? Is the Asian 2813-2 considered a type of Asian 21j movem't? I've read that the 21j is fairly reliable. I have yachtmaster with a 2813-2 and it seems pretty jumpy. I've stared at it so much til its making me wonder if I should upgrade to a Swiss movem't.
