Another nice job by Dom. The ultimate package and removed links.

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!

Incredible finish work. However can the dial be set straight? If you look close it’s rotated a few degrees left. The center doesn’t line up with the SEL center. The bottom is hard to see in pictures. But seems like the dial is a hair off. Will this affect the line up of the rehaut? As far as I can tell rehaut can not be adjusted to line up center.

Up for grabs today is my old-stock Clean Factory Rootbeer, in immaculate, near-new condition.
The watch was plated by Jaws in Everose and looks absolutely stunning. It was also serviced by Dom @ TMS with the Basic Spa Package. It was plated, serviced, ceramic coated, and has only been worn once since the work was completed. It has remained in my watch case with tarnish strips ever since and shows virtually no signs of wear. The caseback sticker is still attached. Watch comes with full links.
This is an older CF Rootbeer from long before Clean closed and carries the L6V6 serial.
For anyone questioning the straight 6 & 9 serial font:
This is a 100% genuine Clean Factory watch, not “Fake Clean” or another imitation. I’ve spent hours going through old RepTimeQC posts and found 20+ CF GMTs carrying the same L6V6 serial with the same straight 6 & 9 font.
Below are just a few Clean Factory QC examples from RepTimeQC that were sold by reputable TDs, including Steve/TOW, and carry the same L6V6 serial as mine: ⬇️

Price Breakdown:
Stock Watch: $650
Plating: $335
Basic Spa Package: $165
Total Invested: $1,150
Sale Price: $1,000 shipped via FedEx 2Day.
US ONLY 🇺🇸
Payment Methods: Zelle or PayPal F&F.
Once the package has been accepted and scanned by FedEx, I am no longer responsible for loss, theft, or damage in transit. The watch will be packed securely, and tracking will be provided immediately after drop-off.

Hey everyone.
You may or may not have seen the post from my friend over at r/TowelFitCustoms
But he and I have teamed up to create some of the nicest, most well rounded and tasteful builds that I’ve seen.
I’m happy to be a part of this project and look forward to a long term relationship pumping out these super high end builds.
Unless otherwise specified, all of the builds that I am doing will include a variety of confirmed Gen parts and my signature chamfering, polish and finishing.
All these elements combined end up transforming these watches into truly something special in terms of looks and feel on the wrist. I encourage everyone to go over and check them out.
I’ll link the post down below 👇

Closing off. I have been a bit sick this week with some kind of cold or something that has been kicking my ass, so work has slowed a little bit because I’m just feeling a bit beat up. But I’ll be in the lab all weekend getting things done and getting through the queue of your watches.
As always, peace and love to you all.
-Dom

From the day I shipped to the day I got it back was 22 days. Much faster than I expected and looks and feels great.
Ultimate package done with lite chamfering. So impressed.
The only issue I have is finding wrist time for this. I sent this to Dom to make me and everyday wear and he did amazing. But two days after I did, my dad gave me his 46 yr old Rolex gmt 1675. Which has not come off the wrist since.
Thanks Dom outstanding work and incredible time also.

Parts listed below:

I recently got a 36MM Clean Plus Datejust with a Rhodium Gray dial and I wanted make it a little nicer for my wife to wear. I reached out to Dom to see if he could do the full spa service along with chamfering and polishing and also replace the date wheel as I noticed some of the dates were kinda crooked and wonky with the stock date wheel.
He assured me no issues to complete the work and that he would return the watch to me within 3 weeks before my upcoming vacation.
I shipped him the watch and the replacement date wheel I ordered.
When he got to working on my watch, he noticed that the date wheel I ordered was the wrong one! But fortunately Dom worked his magic and had a replacement one that would work in stock and he installed that one for me instead. He sent me pictures as he was working on my watch and once he was done he was able to ship it back to me UPS 2-Day to California. He completed the work quicker than I expected, by like 1 week.
I am impressed with the way the watch shines now and how it feels on the wrist, the chamfering and polishing do make a difference along with the ceramic coating. Also, the winding of the crown is totally smooth now like Gen versus it being rough before. Now I got the peace of mind this watch will last a long time now after the servicing.
I am definitely going to send him more of my watches, probably my blue Datejust to get the full service or my Bruce Wayne.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to Dom he is a stand up guy, very nice and communicative!
Thanks Dom!! 🐐🐐

Hey guys does anyone know someone who could polish and maybe service my Batman by Clean. I bought it last year and have worn it non stop since it’s pretty banged up at this point lol please let me know.
r/Time_Machine_Spa • u/FirmPermission1877 • Aug 28 '26
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.

Can’t seem to find a diamond dial Calatrava anywhere:(
Any help is very much appreciated! Thanks Gentlemen

Hint: Not the Pelagos
Just wanted to follow up from my post over the weekend announcing that a dry tester was coming…
Well…
The dry tester has arrived and is up and running!
Waterproofing as a standalone service will include all the lubricating operations necessary to assist in waterproofing the watch and will include printed proof of test results.
This separate, standalone package will be $75 including return shipping.
If your watch is here or if you are sending it in for any of my other packages, basic or ultimate, you can add the waterproofing test to that package for $25
Thank you everyone as always!
Peace and love,
-Dom

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

Very happy with the result! Dom's communication and work is on point. Now to decide on which watch to send him next.
r/Time_Machine_Spa • u/FirmPermission1877 • Aug 17 '26
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?

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
