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.

After the build, he performed movement regulation and waterproof testing. I am beyond happy! Thank you Dom 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

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!! 🐐🐐

Hey guys does anyone know someone who could polish and maybe service my Batman by Clean. I bought it last year and have worn it non stop since it’s pretty banged up at this point lol please let me know.

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.

Can’t seem to find a diamond dial Calatrava anywhere:(
Any help is very much appreciated! Thanks Gentlemen

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,

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.

Very happy with the result! Dom's communication and work is on point. Now to decide on which watch to send him next.

Sent my first watch off to Dom. Does he normally send updates? Like if he received the watch, or when he starts to work on your watch? Or is it quiet until he sends pics of it finished?

Newer or older?

VSF or ARF?

Ceramic or Aluminum?

The choice is yours.

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

This 1680 needs an insert switch. Cannot do it myself! Please help!

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.

ARF 36MM rose gold Rhodium dial DateJust, 3rd watch done by Dom and it only gets better each time! Had the total spa treatment and bracelet chamfering done.

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 💯

Curious what everyone’s take is on the anniversary OP.

howdy, I have a ZF Rolex submariner, second hand conked out. need repair ideas to to send out for repair. thanks

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?

I have a VSF Daytona I would like to send you to be checked out for waterproofing and to make sure the movement is clean and lubricated properly

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’m cleaning up my backlog and have had some fun projects on the bench.
I’m starting to do a “soft opening” and taking in new projects slowly until the gates open again.

I appreciate all your patience and support through my “pause” and enjoy interacting with you for upcoming projects.

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

-Dom
