Forty years at the bench.

Uncle Randy Watches is an independent dealer built on one idea: buy the right watch from someone who'll tell you the truth about it.

Our Story

It started as a workbench in the back of a jewelry shop.

In 1987, Randy took a corner of a downtown jewelry store, a loupe and a drawer of spare parts, and started servicing the watches nobody else wanted to touch. Word travelled. Collectors began bringing him watches to buy, sell and authenticate.

Four decades later, we're one of the most trusted independent dealers in the Midwest — but the approach hasn't changed. Every watch is authenticated, serviced and photographed in our own workshop before it's listed. No pressure, no pretense, no theatre.

How we work

Authenticated in-house

Every watch is opened, inspected and verified by our own watchmakers — never drop-shipped, never taken on trust.

Serviced before it ships

Movements are cleaned, regulated and pressure-tested so the watch keeps time from the day it arrives.

Guaranteed, honestly priced

Fair, transparent pricing and a written guarantee on every purchase. If it isn't right, we make it right.
