Rep Rolex GMT Master 2 problems.

Good Evening Gents,

 

I started this hobby a few years ago when I purchesed a GMT Master 2 from a site i was given by a friend that was into reps (they're not a TD here, nor would I recommend them)  The watch started to run fast on me, gaining a min a day or so.  Towards the end of its life, I could no longer adjust the 24hr hand, the watch was gaining 15+min a day, and finally the crown broke off of the stem. 

 

Does anyone think it would be worth servicing?  The watch does have some sentimental value as it was my first rep.  Any recommendations of someone in the CONUS to fix this?

 

Cheers!

Im pretty sure I could tackle the R&R myself after doing a bit of reading.  I'd have to get the proper movement (was sold as an asian 21j movement.)  Would the movement come with a new stem and crown?

 

Other than the most obvious answer of a magnet, how would a movement become magnetized?

The Asian 21J "GMT" is really a DG3804b.  You can find them Ofrei or eBay.

 

My wife magnetized her gen Breitling switching off the Subwoofer to our Home Theater System once.  Also, some safe's have electromagnetic solenoid style lock mechanisms.
