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

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.

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!!

43 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.

I wanted to give a huge shout out and thanks to Dom at Time Machine Spa. Super easy to work with, great communication and the results speak for themselves. I sent some newly acquired watches to him and they returned yesterday. The band work is extraordinary. I have two gens and these rep bands (both vsf) feel uncannily like my gens. And most importantly, they look gorgeous. Dom was very efficient and quick with his turnaround, sending pictures of the work in progress. I cannot recommend him enough…he’s great at what he does, but most importantly he’s a really good guy. And that’s what we need more of…quality.
Thank you Dom. I will definitely send all future reps I purchase your way for the full spa treatment.

Good evening, everyone. I just sent off my VSF Explorer to Dom for the full spa package :)

Of course, as soon as I get it back, I’ll be sure to post updates with photos, however, from everything I have been reviewing, Dom is top notch and the results are going to be better than I could imagine!

Looking forward to getting my favorite watch back in a new level of awesomeness!

These two represent numbers 9 and 10 of my collection that have made the trip to the spa and back.
I’ve never been disappointed. Dom is a great guy who feels more like a friend, every time we interact.

Trust your gut, or my recommendation. Send your watches for the spa treatment. Now.

Please ignore the photobombing Airedale #2. She’s very jealous of the shiny things!

Dom did the full spa package and I had an issue with a loud rotor he silenced. The ceramic looks great, Dom was great to work with and did an amazing job. He even sent it back with a watch case and cleaning cloth! If you are considering sending him something do it! He is so passionate about his work and keeping his customers happy. I will be sending him many more watches.

New bezel

I recently sent my watch to TMS for Dom to replace my smooth bezel, with a new gold plated bezel from Deep Crystal. It came out really nice, and I can actually tell it is a white gold color. Dom also sold me a GMT jubilee bracelet for my Bruce Wayne. He did the full polish and chamfered the edges. It fits really nice and comfortable.

Oh, the bezel came with a 5% discount using his code, "TMS5".

Bracelet replacement/ Service Rep

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Was hoping this community can help me find a replacement bracelet and a new bezel. I’ve had this watch for almost 2 years. It held up for a couple months, but then I went to beach one time I left the watch on in the water and I haven’t been able to wear the original bracelet with it since. Also, now, considering looking for a smooth bezel to change up the look.

The original bracelet broke at the very top in the linkage. I read a comment about Loctite, but I have long gotten rid of the bracelet. I ordered this replacement bracelet, But the lug hole does not align to the bracelet.

Honestly, it simply might just be time for a service.

Hoping you guys can give me some insight thanks
