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,

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,

Hello all,

I put out a post a few weeks ago regarding my mother and her being in the hospital for an extended amount of time. I wanted to follow up on that with an update and whats happening going forward.

Sadly, my mother passed away yesterday morning.

I am devastated, but I am finding some comfort in knowing that all her struggles and pain are behind her.

I will be spending the next few days with family and attending the services, but will be resuming work on all client watches that are here and incoming. At this point, keeping my head and hands busy helps with clearing my head.

I know my production has been slower recently based on what I have been juggling, and it will likely remain that way for another week or 2 until the dust starts to settle. I appreciate all of your patience, understanding and continued support through all this. It has not been easy, but I feel the love from many of you that contact me and it helps illuminate the light that has been dimmed inside me.

I enjoy interacting with you all, I love working on your watches and I love the feedback I get from you when you receive them after my services. I have NO intention of stopping that at any point in the future. Just taking a step away from the bench for the next few days to honor my mother and celebrate her life.

Thank you all again for the outpouring of messages I have received about her, please continue to keep her in your hearts. It means a lot to me.

Peace and love to you all.
