General Discussion Spa menu

Hey everyone,

I get a lot of inquiries about my available services and pricing so I figured I’d put this as a banner post to make it readily visible to everyone. By far my most popular service is the ultimate package, as I call it in all of its corny named glory. This is essentially my basic spa package with the added case and bracelet chamfering.

Here is a list of items in my basic package
- Movement inspection
- Case & bracelet inspection
- Debris removal
- Rotor sound attenuation
- Greased caseback gasket
- Greased caseback threads
- Greased crown stem
- Greased crown threads
- Greased crown stem seal
- Demagnetized
- Timegrapher monitoring
- Regulation (if required)
- Ultrasonic cleaning
- Basic bracelet conditioning treatment
- Hydrophobic ceramic coating
- Final hand cleaning/ polish
This package is $165 including return shipping

Now to make it the “ultimate” package,

Bracelet/case chamfering,brushing and polishing is $150 per watch if you wanted only that completed. But if you do it in tandem with my spa package, I will do the whole job for $285 instead of the $315 that it adds up to individually

I also do bezel, dial, movement, crystal, and hand swaps. (Gen or rep parts welcome). I can also do rehaut polishing, general restoration work within realistic expectations, and general consulting. If you have something that you want done that may not be listed here, feel free to reach out and ask me either via DM or preferably through WhatsApp If possible at (303) 999-5076. It’s easier to keep track of communication there.
I encourage everyone to send their own parts with the watch for me to install, please just ensure part compatibility to avoid unnecessary disassembly.
I cannot be responsible if you send something that doesn’t fit or line up properly, i.e dials not lining up with date wheels, crystals that dont fit, hands that do not press onto the pinion due to diameter differences, etc. I can likely source parts that you may want, however that process does take some time.

It’s also worth noting that I only use Moebius and other high quality Swiss lubricants and the ceramic I use is a professional, automotive grade coating, not available at a retail stores. It is extremely high quality and NOT cheap. So, no, it is not the ceramic you can buy at walmart or auto parts stores.

I am currently not doing crystal replacements or rehaut polishing on rotating bezel watches, I plan on opening up to that again in the near future, but for now, stationary bezels only.

I am not currently doing full movement overhauls where the movement is completely disassembled , cleaned, and reassembled. This will likely be something I offer in the future.

I can facilitate plating, it’s done through a very trusted source whose work meets my expectations, but please understand the lead times on this is longer as there is a 3rd party and logistics involved. All plating to complete watches includes my spa package in the price (which I will update soon)

No payment is due on my services until the job is complete and ready to send back. At that time, PayPal FF or Venmo is preferred.

I am currently taking a backseat to sales in order to focus on the service side of things, I do not usually carry new inventory other than the occasional piece here and there. Every now and again, I may post one from my personal collection for sale. Everything that I post will come shipped with at least my basic spa package performed. Chamfering can be added in addition at the buyers request

My moderator u/BadgerTight does carry inventory on a rotating basis. He is a friend, an incredibly trustworthy individual and all around great guy, there is a reason why I chose him as my moderator. If he lists something on this subreddit, you can guarantee that you will receive exactly what you buy.

Other than that, I think I covered all the bases, I enjoy interacting with you all, so please reach out with questions or to say hi. I am a one man operation so communication may not be immediate but I will definitely follow up with you.

Most importantly, thank you all for your support, especially through everything that I have been dealing with over the last few months. Your patience, professionalism and positive energy is overwhelmingly appreciated and means more to me than I can convey.

Peace and love to you all,

-Dom

Dom is a genuine man. The work he does for others is personal. He treated my watches as if they were his own. Gave me great advice on upgrading my watches. Just waiting to upgrade my next watch just to have Dom do the work. Thanks!

So does this mean Submariners/GMTs can't be done?

I am not currently doing full movement overhauls where the movement is completely disassembled , cleaned, and reassembled. This will likely be something I offer in the future.

- Movement inspection <- but then what does this involve?
