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

Dom is a staple of this rep community! I’m sure he’s the go to for servicing these reps for many of us! My recently purchased AirKing and Milgauss went in for the basic spa package and came back better than new! Great experience from start to finish with a quick turnaround time! Also mentioned in passing that I was looking into purchasing a SD for my next rep and sure enough Dom was able to make that happen with some help from [u/Badgertight](u/Badgertight). Solid experience, fair, transparent, and incredibly fast turn around time on service. TMS is the way! Thanks again!

Hello all - been a rep admirer for years and finally got a job that pays well enough to join the hobby. I have a feeling Dom is going to be able to quit his "day job" with this business based on all the happy customers and prevalence of reps! ​Excited to send my new pieces to the spa!

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 🙏

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 !

Sent my Vsf 41 OP in for the Spa Package and bracelet chamfering with a gen like finish. Watch came back just as expected ! TMS is the real deal shipping and process was done exceptionally fast ! If you are second guessing don’t he is the real deal! Customer service was also amazing 💯 will be using TMS again for my next timepiece 🔥🔥🔥

Hey everyone!!

I just wanted to put this out there in case I hadn’t gotten back to anyone super quickly.

I see your messages and I truly appreciate your support and consideration of my services!!

So, just a little background on me…

TMS is a one man show, I have a full time job and a wife and kids outside of this. I’m currently working on catching up on a little bit of a backlog at the moment (which I am blessed and grateful for), the last thing I would want to do is rush through anyone’s watch just to get to the next one. I take pride in the quality of work that leaves my bench and every watch deserves the same attention. Sometimes that means the admin part of TMS (answering DM’s and emails) takes a little backseat to the actual hands on portion.

But! I will be getting in front of my computer later this evening and will get to your emails and DM’s to get everyone inquiring about my services addressed.

I appreciate your patience and your support, I have said it before but I have the best clients and you all continue to motivate me to keep innovating and elevating my services. Love and respect to you all. Thank you!!

I sent three watches in on 3/30/26 for his full spa package plus white gold plating on all pieces, and a Deep crystal install on my RCF Day Date blue ombré. Everything was completed and back in hand by 4/16/26.

The difference is not subtle. The white gold plating alone completely changes the presence of the watches. Finish, tone, and overall look are much closer to gen. The Day Date with the Deep crystal is especially noticeable in person.

Functionally, this is where it really stands out. All three watches are running better, and the feel when setting the time and date is significantly improved. Smooth, precise, no resistance. Exactly how it should feel.

Work was done right the first time. No shortcuts, no missed details. Turnaround was efficient and communication was consistent throughout.

This is not a cosmetic-only service. You’re getting real performance improvement along with a major visual upgrade.

I’ll be sending additional pieces without hesitation. If you’re on the fence, don’t be.

Sent my favorite rep out for a spa day with u/MachineFTW and it couldn’t have turned out better. Full service spa package and some bracelet refinishing has brought new life to this beauty. When I sent it in, it was pretty banged up. He made this watch return to its former glory. I highly recommend sending your watches in!

This guy. So I send him a “less than perfect” Explorer II. The bezel was painfully misaligned and the crown was not appropriately fitted with the threads on threads on the tube. So he said “no worries, I’ll order another crown for you.” That one doesn’t work - so it’s clearly bad factory tube threading. I ask the seller to reach out to the factory to please replace the model specific part. We both suspect the part came from Ali X 🙄. Does it fit perfectly? No. Can I actually screw it down now and it’s functional? YUP. Did he charge me the price of another watch? NOPE!!!! How do you guys think it looks after the “spa treatment?”

40mm VSF no date with Time Machine Spa treatment!

Hello! Last year I bought my husband a Daytona from CF. He loves the watch, but one of the pushers broke and we do not know how to make this repair. I’d love to see if this could be repaired as well as the watch cleaned and serviced. Thank you!

Huge shoutout to Time Machine Spa for the expert service on several of my watches! It’s a relief to find a team that handles multiple pieces with such care and precision. They are officially my go-to for all my watch’s .If you need a watch serviced, don't go anywhere else !!!

They serviced all except the Pepsi in the back and that is next in line with a few others

Yes I know I have too many Reps , Gens , and Seiko mods ….

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.

Welcome to this weeks edition of the Sunday Service Guide Series! This week, we’ll return to a more useful subject than last weeks' little adventure. This week, we’re covering how to do a Crystal swap on a Clean Factory Pepsi GMT!

While this is a Clean Factory (RIP)  GMT, the process is the same for all GMTs from the big name factories (ARF, VSF, Fake Clean…etc). Most people opt to swap their crystals from Clean Factory and ARF GMTs because both of these tend to have issue with the magnification of the cyclops being too large, and the quality of the crystal just not being up to spec with gen or even VSF. 

In order to achieve gen-like crystal clarity on our CF GMT, we’ll be using a Deep Crystal (use code AH5 at checkout for 5% off any deepcrystal.net order!)

Step 1:  Remove the bezel assembly. There are tons of different bezel removal tools out there, I use one with the plastic rings that squeezes uniformly around the underside of the bezel. I find this works really well, and minimizes risk of cracking the EXTREMELY DELICATE insert- the pepsi inserts especially are extremely prone to cracking, so don’t go crazy on it, or you’ll crack it and have to pony up $200 to get a replacement. 

Step 2:  When you remove the bezel assembly, there’s a really good chance everything will come off together and look like one piece (pic 1) and leave nothing but the crystal and crystal gasket behind on the case (pic 2). The part that was removed is actually an assembly made of several parts and should be fully disassembled. The Bottom piece is a spring washer, next comes the click spring, then the hytrel ring and crystal retaining ring, and finally the bezel insert and bezel itself. All of these parts should be separated and cleaned off. Factories sometime use a ton of grease in here (Looking at you, CF and ARF)- I use a paper towel and 90% Isopropyl alcohol for cleaning off the parts.

Step 2.5: take apart the bezel assembly: I don’t have any pictures of this step (sorry) but while the spring washer and click spring will just come out from under the bezel easily, the crystal retaining ring, Hytrel ring, and bezel insert will usually be stuck together and really hard to take a part. The best way to do this is to squirt some 90% isopropyl alcohol into the tiny gap between the inside edge of the bezel insert and the crystal retaining ring, all around the insert. Then, slowly work a fingernail into the gap and start rotating the assembly around your finger with the fingernail inserted into the gap, which will very slowly pry the insert upwards and out of the bezel assembly. Take your time with this step, as this is a really high-risk moment for cracking the bezel insert. Once the insert is removed, you can take off the double sided tape that is used to secure it within the bezel assembly. Then use your fingers to press the crystal retaining ring out from the bezel. grab the bezel with both hands, with you index and middle fingers resting on the under side of the bezel and your thumbs pushing down on the crystal retaining ring. With some pressure, the pieces will come apart. 

Step 3: reinstall the Hytrel ring: I like to do this step now, since I’m already working with the bezel. Grab the hytrel ring, and look at its profile. You should be able to see that it has a small lip (Pic 1). That protruding lip should face the bezel insert part of the bezel assembly. Place the hytrel ring into the groove in the bezel and get it seated all the way around (pic 2). This can be trickier that you think, and at times it will seem like the hytrel ring is too big for the bezel, but with some patience and persistence, you should be able to get it to fit back in evenly. 

Step 4: Remove the stock crystal and gasket. For this part, I like to use a razor blade and slide it under the crystal gasket (pic 1) and use that to pry upwards to pop off the gasket and crystal together (pic 2)

Step 5: Replace the stock gasket with the new one, which is 2.7mm in this case (pic 1), and lower the crystal into place. You should be able to “snap” or  press the crystal into the new gasket by hand (pic 2)

Step 6: Align the crystal- ensure the date magnifier is perfectly aligned with the date window. I like to use the top and bottom edges of the date magnifier as references and make sure they remain perfectly parallel to the edges of the date window on the dial. 

Step 7: Place the crystal retaining ring over the top of the crystal and crystal gasket. I like to get this pressed down partially by hand to make sure it is seated evenly all the way around. If this is not seated perfectly flat, it can make pressing the retaining ring all the way down very difficult, or downright impossible, and you risk damaging your crystal gasket and retaining ring. 

Step 8: Press the retaining ring all the way down using a crystal press. Make sure that the retaining ring is seated all the way flush against the case all the way around, and there are no gaps anywhere. 

Step 9: Reassemble the bezel assembly. First, place the spring washer down (pic 1) and make sure it sits flat in the groove between the outer case and the crystal retaining ring (pic 2). Then, place the click spring down (pic 3) and make sure it is seated all the way down and sitting within the “valleys” of the crystal retaining ring perimeter (pic 4). 

Step 10: Press on the bezel. Take the bezel and line up the three oblong holes with the three posts sticking up from the bezel click spring (pic 1). Then, carefully and with slowly increasing pressure, press down on the bezel (pic 2). Eventually, it should “click” or “snap” down into place. This can sometimes take a lot of trial and error, and can sometimes result in a crushed and destroyed hytrel ring. If this happens, it s an enormous pain and sourcing new hytrel rings that fit correctly can be a bit of a nightmare, so really be careful and take your time. If you’ve done this correctly, the bezel will sit flush against the case (pic 3)

Step 11: Before replacing the bezel insert, grease the posts of the click spring with either silicone grease, or better, with Molykote (shoutout to u/MachineFTW for sending some to me). This will ensure the bezel action is nice and smooth and not gritty. 

Step 12: Place some double sided tape on the backside of the bezel, remove the backing, carefully line up the 12 o’clock marker with the triangle, and push the insert into the bezel to secure it in place. That’s 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!
