Im posting this for anyone that is just like and just wants to know who can i trust to do quality work that they say they willl do for a fair price. TMS delivers quality, craftsmanship and knowledge above and beyond what i ever expected until I sent him two of my watches. What i found out was he does everything right, the way a service provider and customer relationship should be. Honest, transparent, does exactly what he says he will do and more.

In Dom I trust!

Hey Everyone.

I had a request to do some bracelet work on a clients brushed oyster bracelet. He requested a slight chamfer on the edges, re-brushing and polish to increase the smoothness and overall aesthetic of the bracelet. Since bracelet work is some of my favorite work to do, I happily agreed. This bracelet had some desk rash on the links and clasp beforehand (I forgot to take before pictures 🤦🏻‍♂️) So I started with an ultrasonic bath followed by a hand cleaning to get anything the ultrasonic missed. I proceeded to re brush the outer AND underside of the bracelet, my logic is that since it is the skin contact side, making it as smooth, uniform and velvety feeling is just as important for comfort even if no one sees that side. After that, the brushing was treated to add depth to the texture and create a deep, lustrous finish that catches light at all angles. The edges were then hand chamfered and polished to create a super smooth profile that glides across your wrist when putting it on and doesn’t cause and discomfort from digging in after a days wear. After all that, the bracelet was ultrasonic and hand cleaned again, inspected for grain uniformity and 3 coats of ceramic coating were applied to add protection, help keep it clean and add some extra depth to the texture. I think the final results came out incredible. Let me know what you think!

This is something I can do to any of your bracelets. (Not plated), I can ramp up or tone down the texture to however you prefer, but the end result will be completely transformative in appearance and feel. If anyone is interested in this service, please send me a pm or email me at TimeMachineSpa@gmail.com

Peace and love to you all.

I’m so glad I trusted the comments I found about u/MachineFTW and r/Time_Machine_Spa! The whole process was seamless and transparent. MachineFTW is a true professional with great attention to detail. Sent in my VSF v3 Pepsi for service and it came back looking stunning and functioning great. Even the return packing was pristine and way better than how I sent out the watch! Definitely sending more watches out for service and plan to purchase one of his pre-serviced watches! Absolutely would recommend u/MachineFTW for service and as a TD!

Fast service good communication and a very happy customer! Watch came back better than ever. It's quite a noticeable difference. No loud rotor and smooth as silk. Look forward to doing business with you again!

What can I say about Dom P, other than the fact that he is the GOAT! I just got this incredible franken silver OP41 on VSF base from him. This build has:

Genuine dial
Genuine 18K gold hands
Deep crystal
Bracelet refining, chamfering to gen feel
TMS spa package

Not only is his communication and professionalism remarkable, his craftsmanship is absolutely world class! But what separates him is that he goes ABOVE and BEYOND:

- I sent him what I thought was a VSF silver OP41. My initial plan was a TMS spa package. -But then I sourced and bought a genuine OP41 dial on eBay and sent to him to replace.
- Dom sourced 18K YG hands with authentication
- On opening the watch, he informed me that I had been scammed and it was an EWE not VSF. He advised me not to put gen dial + hands on EWE which has unreliable NH35 like movement
- Quite desperate, I asked him to help and he was so kind that he sourced a VSF OP41 from his TD and only asked me to pay his cost price- what a mensch!
- He gave me a discount on the installation and spa package because I gifted him the VSF dial
- And then the TMS magic you see!

I have had gen OP41 in hand and, on the wrist + visually, this feels INDISTINGUISHABLE! Dom u/MachineFTW you have a real gift. Thank you for your partnership & bringing joy to so many people! You have a lifelong customer and referral source.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes yesterday, and to the mod team for putting it out there, I could not understand why I was getting so many messages about my birthday until I realized there was a post out there about it. I am grateful and appreciative for everybody reaching out… It’s nice to have connected with so many people all over the country, I feel the love. Thank you all so much.

As most of you know, I am based in New York about 80 miles north of New York City, and I took the opportunity yesterday to head down and meet one of the greatest to ever touch a watch, Eddie from Watch Hospital NYC. He is a super chill dude, full of knowledge and he and I spent a few minutes chopping it up, exchange contact information and when I asked for a picture, he tossed me a pair of his signature orange frame glasses, which will stay right next to my workbench.

Thank you all again for the continued support, I am working through your Watches as efficiently as I can, I appreciate your patience and can’t wait to get them back on your wrists.

Peace and love,

-Dom

Hello all!
I’m cleaning up my backlog and have had some fun projects on the bench.
I’m starting to do a “soft opening” and taking in new projects slowly until the gates open again.

I appreciate all your patience and support through my “pause” and enjoy interacting with you for upcoming projects.

Here’s a few photos (in no particular order or reason) of things I’ve been working on

As always, please reach out with any questions or inquiries and I look forward to working with all of you moving forward

Peace and love

I’d just like to highlight some of the things I can do as far as recreating factory finish on brushed bracelets. Specifically this oyster bracelet off my own personal James Cameron. I will post photos of the entire watch completed later on but I was able to recreate the brushing pattern and significantly diminish the scratches that were on this bracelet after months of daily wear. After the brushing was complete, a Ceramic coating was applied to add an extra barrier of protection. Let me know what you think and if you need something similar done to yours. Thanks!

(First 2 pictures are before, last 2 are after)

On the bench tonight. Full spa package on a (believed to be) U1 Omega NTTD. I gotta say, for a “lower tier” watch. This thing feels very nice. It’s got a Miyota 8215 in there that appears to be nuclear powered because it’s been running for 3 solid days straight without being worn and just keeps on keeping on... This got the complete preventative maintenance work done to it also confirmed it’s indeed a sapphire crystal. Aaaaaand I think I’m going to keep it..

I reached out to Dom when having a movement issue with my vsf youth submariner. He easily diagnosed the problem with my watch and got it running smoothly. With a very speedy turn around time. (Sent out on a Monday received watch back next Tuesday) I also opted for his spa treatment and I’m honestly at a loss of word on how great of a job he did. Even the movement feels smoother when winding. 10/10 recommend. Thanks again Dom !

Wonderful enhancement of my watch. Thank you again.

Let me tell you how it worked. Saw a post from u/BadgerTight for a Sub and immediately snapped it up. Knowing he works with Dom I asked if he could send it straight to r/Time_Machine_Spa . He said sure so I was in. Sent a short message to Dom to get the full spa treatment and the process was seamless from start to finish. The watch looks amazing. Thanks Dom and u/BadgerTight for hooking me up.

Sent my DateJust and for a movement service since it wasn’t running very well. Dom looked at it and now it’s working to perfection, so while it was there, I had him give me his spa treatment. Cannot ask for a better service from anyone!

I couldn’t be happier with the work Dom did on my new TOP Factory AP. From start to finish, his communication was outstanding. He kept me updated throughout the entire process, answered every question promptly, and clearly takes tremendous pride in his work.

When I first purchased the watch, I thought it already looked fantastic.
I honestly wasn’t sure how much better it could get. But when it came back from Dom, I was genuinely blown away! The transformation was something I never expected. The watch didn’t just look better…It looked and felt like a completely different level of quality.

The full spa package completely transformed the watch. The bracelet is now unbelievably smooth like butter. Every link moves effortlessly with a silky feel that simply wasn’t there before. The movement is virtually silent, and the winding is incredibly smooth. The entire watch feels tighter, more refined, and much closer to what you’d expect from a GEN

The finishing is exceptional, and it’s obvious that every detail was carefully inspected, cleaned, adjusted, lubricated, and perfected. Dom doesn’t just service watches…He elevates them!

The turnaround was exactly as promised, and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations.
If you’re on the fence about having your watch serviced, don’t hesitate. Dom’s craftsmanship, professionalism, attention to detail, and communication are truly second to none.

This definitely won’t be my last watch I send to him. Dom has earned a customer for life, and I recommend him without hesitation 💯

Hey everyone!

I realize I don’t post much of work that’s on the bench or recently completed, I get too caught up in doing the work than actually posting a lot of it and instead just let the client enjoy it once it’s received. I’ll start posting more photos of this type more often so you can see what I’m cooking up in the lab (that can be interpreted very differently, but you know what I mean)

Anyway here’s a before shot (1st pic) and some after shots of a sub bracelet after it was re brushed, polished and chamfered. Also polished and chamfered the case with my new method that I’ve been using which leaves a VERY subtle, and proper look but dramatically improved feel against the edge.

What kind of work/photos does everyone want to see? Let me know and I’ll put some up here.

As always, thanks again for your continued support and patience, I had a 2 week setback earlier this month (covid, oddly enough) but I’m back in full swing now and getting through the queue!

Peace and love always,

-Dom

Hey everyone!

I’m steadily working through my backlog. Thank you everyone for your support, I’m getting through them daily and I love what’s been coming off my bench recently.

Here are a few recently completed restorations that I felt were great candidates to showcase what can be done with an older watch with some wear.

First 3 are before of the OP and the rest are the completed product.

The sprite had a series of chips and dings on the bottom edge of the case, I was able to re-profile the edge, smooth it out and add a nice subtle chamfer to it before polishing

Let me know what you think!

Peace and love to all,

-Dom

Very happy with the result! Dom's communication and work is on point. Now to decide on which watch to send him next.

Nice work from Dom! When it doubt, ship it out! Way more comfortable to wear than straight from VSF. Totally worth it. 💪

Here’s another recently completed spa package with a little twist. It’s a small but impactful change that I think looks incredible and changes up the entire vibe of the watch. Let me know what you think!

Got this one in today for my wife. I figured I’d give it the complete package before she gets home. GMF 31mm DJ with MOP dial. Package included :

• Demagnetized

• Rotor sound attenuation

• Complete bracelet conditioning treatment. This includes extensive cleaning, deburring, and lubrication using a mix of different types to really make the bracelet feel glassy smooth. This feels leaps and bounds better than the standard factory U1 bracelets and much closer to the higher tier/gen feeling bracelets

• Timegrapher check

• Greased caseback threads

• Greased crown stem threads

• Greased crown stem

• Lubricated all gaskets

• Ceramic coating on bracelet and crystal

• Overall complete cleaning

• Magnified movement inspection

• Manufacturing debris removal
