American PW Local Repair/ Cleaning RR Watch- S.E. Michigan area

[Pegleg]

I was just bitten by the Railroad Watch collecting bug, and am REALLY a newbie at this.

I just purchased a few Railroad watches and one of them, a 23 Jewel Illinois Bunn Special has some slight rust spots beginning on the main wheel and the ratchet wheel, so I suppose that I should have the watch cleaned and serviced Yes

Can anyone recommend a Reputable watch maker that is familiar with railroad watches in the S.E. Michigan area? If not local, is it recommended to send the watch off to someone who specializes in Railroad watches, and if so, any recommendations on them?

Thanks much!

Rich
