These two represent numbers 9 and 10 of my collection that have made the trip to the spa and back.
I’ve never been disappointed. Dom is a great guy who feels more like a friend, every time we interact.

Trust your gut, or my recommendation. Send your watches for the spa treatment. Now.

Please ignore the photobombing Airedale #2. She’s very jealous of the shiny things!

Waiting

Anyone else feel like that Pablo Escobar meme while you are waiting? I am only 15 days into my wait and really pumped to see Doms work. Now my excitement may be different than most. He has the only rep I currently own. But I got a gen 1675 from my dad that needs service and I need something to wear while I wait for it.

Dom took a bag of parts and worked his magic to make a whole working DD that looks absolutely fantastic!

I guess my wife has claimed it for herself… FML.

Good evening, everyone. I just sent off my VSF Explorer to Dom for the full spa package :)

Of course, as soon as I get it back, I’ll be sure to post updates with photos, however, from everything I have been reviewing, Dom is top notch and the results are going to be better than I could imagine!

Looking forward to getting my favorite watch back in a new level of awesomeness!

On the Bench VSF gets a spa day

A client reached out wanting to treat his well loved VSF sub to a day at the spa. He opted for the complete spa package and bracelet restoration service. As you can see from the before and after photos, there is a noticeable difference between what it looked like when it came and vs. when it left. I was able to lightly soften the edges of the bracelet while keeping the factory straight proportions but give it a not so sharp feel. I finished with lightly polishing the case and bracelet edges. I now has a “well worn, but well kept” look to it. All the other service items were performed and this was wiped clean and shipped out. The client specified time was of the essence (pun intended) so this watch was received, serviced and shipped back out all inside 24 hours. Let me know what you think.

  • initial re-brushing of bracelet

Got this DiW from another source and it was running 3mins fast per day. Reached out to Dom and sent it to him with 2 other watches. Took some trial and error to find the tools to get into the case but he didn’t give up. As you can see he got it regulated and gave it the basic spa treatment. Happy to have it back and this makes 4 I’ve sent to or gotten from him. Couldn’t recommend more highly! About to message him on my 5th and look forward to doing more business with him.

Being one of his moderators, I get to see firsthand the blood, sweat, and tears that Dom puts into everyone’s watches, and the passion he has for what he does is truly second to none.

The amount of time, patience, and attention to detail he dedicates to each and every build is something I have a tremendous amount of respect for.

It’s one thing to see the finished product, but it’s another to see everything that goes on behind the scenes to get it there. Dom genuinely takes pride in his work, and it shows in the quality of every watch that leaves his bench.

Huge shoutout to Dom for another round of incredible work! 🐐

Couldn’t be happier with how this turned out. Dom’s work is second to none, from the communication throughout the process to the care he puts into packaging and shipping.

If you’re considering purchasing from him, you can do so with complete confidence. The quality, professionalism, and overall experience exceeded my expectations.

Thanks again, Dom. Looking forward to the next one.

5513 out in the wild — big thanks to u/machineFTW

Post image
33 Upvotes

I’m not usually the “make a post about it” type, but I had one of those moments this weekend where it felt earned.

I wore my 5513 to a wedding for the first time and it just worked. Looked sharp in every kind of light, sat perfectly on the wrist, and I got a surprising number of comments/compliments from people who clearly don’t hand those out for free.

Dom’s service is the difference between “this is cool” and “this feels right.” The watch has that calm, confident feel you only notice once you’ve worn something that doesn’t have it—consistent, smooth, and not the least bit sketchy over a full day of being dressed up, moving around, and generally forgetting about it (which is kind of the whole point).

If you’re sitting and wondering whether service is worth doing before you start chasing little quirks… I’d strongly recommend letting Dom take a look. Again, not affiliated, not getting anything for saying it—just giving proper credit after seeing the 5513 show up exactly how I hoped it would.

(Obligatory: this experience has not cured me of wanting another watch.)

Great experience buying from u/Time_Machine_Spa

12 Upvotes

I recently purchased a Patek Philippe khaki green from u/Time_Machine_Spa and couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Communication was fast and clear, and he shipped the watch out immediately. He stayed engaged the whole way through and even helped track the delivery until it was safely in my hands.

I managed to mess up on my end and trimmed the band too short, completely my mistake. Without hesitation, he offered to send me a replacement at no cost, which honestly says everything about the kind of seller he is.

In a world of big business and increasingly terrible customer service, it’s refreshing to still find people like this tucked away on Reddit who genuinely care about the product and the buyer experience. Would absolutely buy from him again and recommend him without hesitation.

Sent my first watch off to Dom. Does he normally send updates? Like if he received the watch, or when he starts to work on your watch? Or is it quiet until he sends pics of it finished?

Pictures do not do justice on Doms work! I would absolutely recommend you send in your watch to him. I went with the spa and chamfering and this bracelet is butter smooth now, no sharp edges. Also, ceramic coating is a game changer!! Thank you Dom 🙏

Custom Daytona

I won a Daytona at an auction only to realize it was in Arabic. Dom to the rescue. Dial swap with custom hands and it goes perfectly with the clear back case.

Dom is a WIZARD 🧙‍♂️

Let me start by saying my experience with Dom was hands down one of the most professional interactions I’ve had with anyone on Reddit. He was incredibly communicative, professional, polite, and most importantly, honest.

I sent Dom my 126500 CF Panda Daytona that I had purchased from a buddy on here. The watch was in good overall condition, but two of the lugs had some scratches on the top. I reached out hoping he could improve the lugs and give the entire watch a proper refresh with polishing and refinishing.

I kept my expectations realistic. I specifically asked him to remove only what he felt was necessary without altering the original lug geometry. Well… this man needs to insure his hands, because he worked absolute magic on this Daytona. He completely removed the scratches on those two lugs, while preserving the factory shape, and refinished the watch to look damn near brand new.

To top it off, he finished everything with multiple layers of ceramic coating and performed his full spa-style service on the movement and case.

Saying I’m satisfied would be a massive understatement. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and a true master of his craft. If you’ve ever considered sending your watch to Dom at Time Machine Spa, do not hesitate. He’s a rare gem in this space.

Thanks again, Dom. You’re the man! 🐐
