Bristol or UK vintage watch repair

Hey everyone, I recently ordered this lovely vintage Slava automatic from a seller in the Ukraine. Seller has many years of good feedback as watch merchant and says it was serviced, however, pretty sure the oscillator for the automatic came off the second time I wore it. Will still wind and run manually but I am concerned about damage from the loose oscillator if I continue to wear it. All the ’watch repair’ places around me want to put it in the post to their actual repair shops and are quoting me £100+ for what I’m pretty sure it opening up the case, putting it back on and re-attaching a screw (the watch only cost £50 to begin with!) I’m not going to be returning it to the Ukraine for obvious reasons. Is there anyone local who has some experience with watches who would be willing to have a look for me? Recommendations? Thanks

Just for posterity, after some searching I found Horological Underground, who I cannot recommend strongly enough. They sorted it out quickly (and cheaply) for me on site. Also had a range of lovely vintage pieces for sale as well as their own limited edition pieces handmade by their in-house watchmaker. https://german242.com/en/
