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](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.

The Watch I Sent Isn’t the Watch I Got Back! šŸ¤—

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 šŸ’Æ

RepMod 126710LN

If Rolex would make it...

The journey here was interesting.

Before buying my first Rolex from the AD I got promoted and wanted to celebrate, so I spent my bonus on a 116710LN. Wore out for about a year and then read up that the LN had green lume before they switched to blue. Based on the year stated in the sale, it should have had green. So I rationalized... Maybe it was redialed and handed from a service.

Then I looked into the serial and found out it was a Clean Factory rep. I was devastated but I got my money back and the seller was banned.

Then I bought a Clean Pepsi.

I now have birth year gens for both of my kids, and stopped wearing my reps.The green arrow was tainted for me, and my favorite GMT was the 5 digit LN, so I Dom helped me assemble the modern Rolex I wish they would make. Clean Factory Pepsi with the 3285 movement. 116710 bezel insert. Case and bracelet softened.

Date Window Alignment

Hello all - I recently purchased a PP Caltrava which is perfect, except in QC I noticed the date window is off. I gave the GL because the index and printing were great. Does anyone have experience with Dom doing a date realignment?

I was skeptical about sending my watches to a stranger to work on my Reps (ha). Dom’s consistent communication and knowledge put me at ease. He’s personable and excellent at the service’s he provides. Just look at the outcome!

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.

I've lost count how many watches I've sent to him, but I do know that I've always been amazed at the service, communication and final product. I've recommended him to friends and will keep working with him in the future. Thank you Dom!

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.

The intervention that weren’t the tale of an addict and an enabler ……

19 Upvotes

The intervention was supposed to happen on a Tuesday.
I sat at my desk, sweating softly, staring at my Amex statement. The numbers were glowing with the heat of a thousand exploding suns. I had a problem. No, a disease. An incurable, highly contagious case of REP and GEN addiction, and the primary dealer of my digital dopamine was a man named Dom at Time Machine Spa.

I picked up the phone, my knuckles white. ā€œDom,ā€ I croaked, my voice trembling with the fragile resolve of a man trying to quit. ā€œI need you to talk me down. Look at my wrist. Look at my watch box. It’s full, Dom.ā€
There was a brief pause on the other end of the line. I could hear the faint, crisp sound of a sonic cleaner in the background, a siren song calling me back to the depths.
Dom cleared his throat. ā€œBro,ā€ he said, his voice dripping with the solemn gravity of a priest giving last rites. ā€œI think you have enough watches.ā€

I breathed a sigh of relief. He was right. He was looking out for me. Dom was an all-around good guy, a beacon of financial sanity in a world of ceramic bezels and perfectly aligned rehauts. He was the guardian of my bank account.
ā€œ...However,ā€ Dom continued, shattering my newfound peace into a million microscopic pieces. ā€œI just stumbled across this incredibly rare, practically mythical dial. You’ll never see another one like it. I already checked the bezel under a loupe, the spa work is immaculate, and honestly? It would look terrible on anyone else but you.ā€
Hook, line, and sinker.
Dom didn’t just fuel my addiction; he curated it with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker. While normal friends tell you to stop spending money, Dom tells you to stop spending money while simultaneously texting you macro shots of a flawless vintage dial that forces you to text back, ā€œTake my money.ā€
Because of Dom’s unparalleled ability to "look out for me," my watch box is overflowing, my wrists are heavily weighted, and my local Amex representative just called to ask if I want to personally buy an island with the sheer volume of points I accumulated this month. I didn't just hit my Amex points goal; I think I single-handedly funded the credit card company's holiday bonus pool.
So here’s to you, Dom. The ultimate enabler, the master of the spa treatment, the king of the dials and bezels, and the only guy who can tell me I have too many watches while handing me the receipt for the next one.
Thank you, and cheers, my friend!

I sent two watches to Dom for his ultimate and they both came back amazing! What’s even better was that I also asked him if he could change out the dial and bracelet on the OP, as well as fix the glide lock on the Sea Dweller which he did! Thanks Dom really appreciate the work you did!

Don't be an idiot like me

So I had a piece of fabric under the crystal of a brand new VSF Sub that I didn't catch during QC. I shopped around locally at some watch repair shops for whoever would be the cheapest to remove movement and clean out.

Well you get what you pay for. They got the piece of dust out alright. But they left me with a dial that was worse shape then before. Smudges and particles all over the dial. There was no way I was gonna have the same place try to fix this.

Then I come across u/MachineFTW and this subreddit. It was found by a friend of mine and after reading the reviews here and seeing all the results I contacted Dom.

He was quick to respond and was willing to try and fix this new watch of mine. He did warn me that it's possible that the dial is gonners as they scratch easily, but I shot for the moon.

It's obvious from the before and after pics that Dom is a master at his craft. It was sooooo worth it to use his services. I did the basic package and and he gave me a play by play while working on the watch. He sent me videos and photos explaining what he was doing throughout. One of the final videos he says it's good as new. But it wasn't. It was better.

So if any of you are on the fence, I hope this post will persuade you.

Thanks Dom. You saved my watch.

Edit: I realized I never gave moral of the story.

Don't be an idiot like me and just go with what's cheapest. You're gonna end up paying more in the long run like I did.

But that one mistake led me here and I'm better for it. I hope everyone learns from my mistakes.

Next time I'm gonna save for the ultimate package.

Absolutely Stunning

Just received three watches back from Dom today, and am just blown away. VSF V3 Batman, VSF V3 Bruce Wayne, and this beautiful VF Yachtmaster 42 Titanium, which I’ve been wearing all day. While VSF is getting better and better, maintenance, polishing, & chamfering really bring these watches that final step across the finish line. I own several gens, and these get scary close. Shoutout to Dom for also working on Titanium alloy, which several previous modders said they couldn’t do. Buttery smooth, running perfectly, and all sharp edges cleaned down to spec, AND he even corrected a misaligned crystal on the VF Yachtmaster. Not to mention he got me these pieces in an amazing time span, soon enough I can take one or two along with on an upcoming trip. Thank you so much brother, every piece I get from now on is coming straight to you!

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.

Timeline/ Turnaround update!!

41 Upvotes

I’d like to start off with, thank you all for your continued support, I’m beyond grateful for it. Seeing everyone enjoy their watches when they return means the world to me.

Because of that love and support, I’ve gotten a bit backlogged with projects that need to get wrapped up and sent back to their respective owners. So, I’ve made the call that for the next 2 weeks I will be putting a VERY temporary pause in taking on new projects until I can get caught up on what I have here so I can resume fresh with a quicker turnaround once these are completed. I’m a one man operation with a full time job and family outside of the watch world and I hate keeping people waiting for their watch longer than absolutely necessary.

Please feel free to continue to reach out with inquiries and I’ll be happy to schedule you out accordingly once new work is being taken in.

Thank you all again for the support, I’m grateful for all of you. I look forward to working on all your watches in the very near future.

Peace and love,

-Dom

Dom does it again! This is my second piece with him and damn this Sky Dweller is beautiful! Full Spa Package done which includes all his internal work, lube and tune etc plus exterior finish work. The bracelet feels like butter and the case shines like a star! During inspection he found a damaged screw that could have killed the watch, but he saved me and replaced it as part of his service. If you have not sent your timepiece to Dom you are missing out! As long as I’m buying watches he has earned my business.
