Watch repair advice

Lochlannach

I have a Raymond Weil Parsifal which has suffered some damage.

I somehow managed to catch the crown on a drawer handle while reaching for the bottom drawer and it got pulled off - see attached pictures. I doubt I could repeat it if I tried.

The damage to the stone on the crown was a separate incident involving my son and a floor a while back - annoying at the time but I never got round to sorting it before this.

This happened a couple of months ago and the watch has run perfectly since.

I'm guessing the crown, stem and possibly seals would be the minimum here?

I've had one jewellers send it to their workshop and quote for repairs to it but the quote seemed a bit steep and came with zero information on what they were going to do.

Where would I go for a decent quote? Even if it's high it would at least be a second opinion/option.

Also it's ten years old and was worn daily until the damage was done. As such it's got some minor scratches on the case/bracelet - can be seen in the flash photo although glass is perfect. Would polishing be worth considering?

How much was the quote that you were given ?

Missed this being added.

Not sure it's really all that relevant how much the quote was - it seems high to me and came without any sort of description of what was to be covered. It's it just replacing the crown or is there greater damage internally, will the waterproofing be ok after, etc.

Now it may well turn out to be the proper repair price but I would want at least a second opinion from somewhere decent first.

As such In looking for recommendations on where to go if anyone knows of somewhere

Price quoted was 300.
