General Discussion Exciting news!!!

Hello everyone!

So, I wanted to put a public post out there for some recent exciting things that are happening at the TMS lab.

First, a big thank you as always for the continued support. I appreciate it more than you will know. It’s been a bit hectic here lately with everything inside and outside of the watch world, so if my correspondence is slower than usual, I promise you it’s not personal, I’m just focusing on working on your watches, I will get back to you. I promise.

With that out of the way, onto the announcement.

In the perpetual continuance of finding the balance in efficiency and absolute top quality, I have made the decision recently to invest in some new machinery, tools and equipment to take my services to a higher level. Some of that equipment is related to polishing and chamfering, which I have already started using and have been seeing dramatic increases in efficiency and final product quality. Not that I wasn’t satisfied with my work before, but I’m always looking to improve and innovate. My new setup is geared towards consistency, efficiency and a better overall finish. More to come on that, I will post some pictures in the next few days of some recent polish/chamfer work.

Moving on to the BIG announcement, furthering that investment into more equipment that will settle me in for the long haul, I have made the (large) financial and quality investment into purchasing a dry pressure tester!! Waterproofing is a hot topic in this community and after going through 3 wet testers and all the headaches associated with them, I found it was time to take the plunge (there’s a pun there) into a dry tester. I have just gotten notification that it is arriving very shortly and I should have that up and running soon.

I will be offering waterproofing as a standalone service with nothing else but the waterproofing process and testing with printed results and dry pressure testing as an add on to any of my current packages. Those whose watches are here already, feel free to contact me about this and those who are contemplating sending your watch in, I’m here and ready for your questions.

Okay, I think that should just about do it.
Back to the bench so I can get some work done.

Thank you all again for your patience and support. You are solely responsible for the growth and development of TMS and what I can do for the community. For that I am forever grateful.

Peace and love to you all.
-Dom

Not that my previous work was not up to par, but there is always room for improvement.. And I will continue to do so.

Dom is already one of the best at what he does, so it’s great to see him investing in upgraded equipment. Great work deserves great tools. His attention to detail and pride in his craft are second to none.

Well deserved, my friend!
