Do you have your beautiful 3235 movement in a VSF Submariner, with the VSF dial, etc or have you also enhanced other elements of the watch (with gen parts, or otherwise)?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

There's also gen hands, crown, tube and datewheel.
The rehaut has been polished to look gen and the sharp lugs have been softened a bit.
Still searching for the elusive 126610 dial
Mike is truly one of the best. His work speaks for itself, and he’s helped me out many times with perfect outcomes!
Pictured below is my 16800, tritium plot fell of @ 8 o’clock. Repaired
Next is a franken Daytona Mike had installed a genuine racing dial, gen handsets, glass and full service.
Our latest project was to replace the Genuine black dial with an APH dial, and replace subdial hands with genuine to match center gen hands. Perfection as always!
Thank you, Mike!!

Leaving another fantastic review for WatchServicesNY, as this is now the 3rd successful endeavor.
Continued work on a pet project franken, 126334 DateJust 41 Blue Roman, Clean case VS3235 movement. This time Michal successfully installed a balance and bridge & genuine fluted bezel, after previously installing gen dial, Crystal, hands, date disc, crown & new style rotor. The visual and timegrapher results are outstanding.
2 additional bezel swaps, testing, and case edge softening for 2 cases were conpleted with total skill. All 3 watches are excellent as always!
I’ve said it before, but will reiterate how appreciative and grateful I am to have access to such a skilled craftsman. Thank you!

Mike worked on two of my watches, a Santos and an Explorer. The work was completed right on time and communication was great throughout. Both watches wind and run buttery smooth and he even knocked the price down on the Santos service when it did not pass pressure testing. Plan to send him more projects soon. Thanks again Mike.
the best of the best, a true craftsman......
As I continue to make modifications to my watch, watchservicesnyc continues to deliver time and time again. Always appreciative of the communication, turn around time, and most importantly, the result.
A sincere - thank you very much.

Mike worked on my gen Rolex Cal. 1570. I tried to finish the project independently and convert the movement to a GMT which resulted in the movement failing to run. Mike was able to take it in right away. He had the movement running again and also sourced some parts that I unknowingly had been missing to finish the conversion. I've had it back now for a few weeks and it's running flawlessly. Great communication and super transparent.
Thanks again for all the help
Thanks again for all the help
Daytona is back for more modding, this time -
- Gen 18k tube
- Gen 18k Daytona crown
- Gen gold hands
- Water-proofing
Maybe it's a placebo but the watch feels heavier with all the gen parts. The end result is a superb gold Daytona and Mike made it all happen. I certainly couldn't do this project without him.
Thanks again Mike.

Just wanted to give Michal a quick thank you! for the great work and fast turnaround.
I sent him my CF Pepsi for an insert swap and full movement service. He was able to identify a leak in the case, fixed that and now waterproofed to 10ATM.
Thank you!!

Purchased a datewheel from Mike and sent him my watch for him to install. The service was way faster than expected and it came out perfect! Will definitely be sending him my watch again if I need to franken more watches!
Another stellar service! Michal performed a dial swap and pressure test - literally got the watch back in 1 week. Very grateful we have such a skilled watchmaker offering their services here! Its a privilege. Thanks again Michal!

Which Hulk dial and base? Looks incredibly close to genuine.Mike at watchserviceNY is the best. A trusted horologist is as important as a trusted dealer. All the below watches have been serviced by Mike over the years and are running strong.
Mike did a great job on my 114060 Franken. I am very pleased and would highly recommend him for your build or servicing needs.

Mike provided top quality, very professional, and timely work for me. I needed him to swap my daytona dial, hands, and regulate the movement.
Thank you sir!

Got my C+ Batman back from Michal for a full service and its perfect. He's truly a master at his craft. The watch is literally BETTER than new from the factory. Winding is so buttery smooth now. Thank you again!
