This watch has an NH35 that is messing up out of warranty. I had it regulated, but this didn't fix my issue. I figure that by the time I get down to the cause of the issue with this movement, I will have spent much more than the cost of an entirely new NH35. I consider myself pretty handy, but I have never worked on a watch before. If it would be better to have a pro do it, about how much should I expect to pay? Thanks!

I’d suggest that fortune favors the bold and go for it. The watch in question is inexpensive enough that it’s worth the risk, IMO. If you screw up, you can take the bag of parts into a watchmaker and have them clean up your mess.
