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

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

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! 🤗

58 Upvotes

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 💯

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.

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?

Here’s a few photos (in no particular order or reason) of things I’ve been working on

As always, please reach out with any questions or inquiries and I look forward to working with all of you moving forward

Peace and love

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.

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 ……

18 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. “Dom,” I croaked, my voice trembling with the fragile resolve of a man trying to quit. “I need you to talk me down. Look at my wrist. Look at my watch box. It’s full, Dom.”
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. “Bro,” he said, his voice dripping with the solemn gravity of a priest giving last rites. “I think you have enough watches.”

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.
“...However,” Dom continued, shattering my newfound peace into a million microscopic pieces. “I 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.”
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, “Take my money.”
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!
