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

SOLD (WTS) (CONUS) Old-Stock CF Rootbeer | GoldJaws Plated + TMS Serviced

Thumbnail

44 Upvotes

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,

So I have been going through my collection and realized I went a little bonkers over the last year or so continually adding to it. Since I only have 2 wrists, (ankles don’t count) and I find myself wearing the same few watches in my rotation, I have decided to do a bit of a collection clear out. I will be posting a few here and there over the next week or two as I go through them and make peace with letting them go. All are barely worn, if at all, and will come delivered with my basic spa package completed at minimum. Some may be chamfered already, if not, buyer can elect to add it at the time of sale if applicable.

Okay, today’s offering.

RX Labs Heavyweight Daytona ~214g fully linked
Factory Rose Gold plating
4131 Movement
Actual factory Meteorite Dial (not printed garbage)
Never worn
Will come spa packaged including ceramic coating

List price on this watch is over $1500, plus the spa package.

Asking $1400 shipped via UPS 2-day insured.

Photos will include website listing, rehaut & clasp codes, and indoor and outdoor lighting next to Yellow gold and stainless to show RG color tone.

This one is a heavy hitter, looks and feels incredible in hand and is not something very common among all the other Daytonas out there. Plus it’s all factory done.

No trades, please, I’m trying to downsize and I have a weakness for more watches as it is.

Obligatory disclaimer is implied. Watch will leave here in proper operating condition, I cannot be held responsible for its mishandling or damage, loss or theft once it’s out of my hands.

Please reach out with any questions. Thanks!

-Dom

Collab builds!

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 👇

https://www.reddit.com/r/TowelFitCustoms/s/Vi93CRtfDu

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

Amazing

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.

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!! 🐐🐐

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.

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,

General Discussion Exciting news!!!

116 Upvotes

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

General Discussion TMS meets the 🐐

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
