Can't find any in Québec. But I got one in USA.
I guess it helps to find a reputable watchsmith!
Update: Unfortunately the service did not work after all. Watch stop again and I finally found out that it is once the seconds hand hits the hour hand at a certain time. Seems will need a watch fixer again :-(

Shouldn't have this issue if it was actually serviced and hands refitted by someone who has any idea what they are doing. I suggest finding another watchmaker.
Tell your TD, they may be able to offer a solution.
I’d look into servicing before I looked into replacing the movement. It could be such a trivial thing, easily fixed.
People make mistakes. I know we'd like to think people should be mistake free. But on my watch thay just had this problem, he's a very good watch smith with an excellent history and reputation.
Yes, stupid mistakes suck but people are only human. And I don't know about this OPS sitch but good watch smith's are hard to come by. Also, compare it to any other trade - mechanic, carpenter, accountant, sex worker - they're all professionals and I can easily imagine each making a mistake that they'd think (and we'd all think) is silly.
And I say this because iny experience, 1. Shit happens and 2. These are reps. I've talked to a lot of watch smith's who talked about doing work on the forum where something silly happened (a mistake) and the person flips out with the "well I've never...." and the "this is an outrage..." and also the "I expected better. If I wanted subpar service I wouldn't have bought a Rolex" and it's like.... Ummm dude, you didn't buy a Rolex you bought a rep so stop acting like a pretensions idiot (not you just in general I mean) who gets entirely too hung up on the logo and just because it has the logo, people forget this isn't Rolex or a Rolex AD or a $10 to 50 thousand watch.
I'm just saying I think we could offer a little understanding to people who work on these watches for us because we can't want into an AD.
Of this was a gen Rolexx service would easily cost twice as much as the value of this watch.
