We buy used vintage, antique and modern watches and scrap gold and jewelry from individuals, estates, property clean-out companies, storage unit auction buyers, etc.

If you’re local to Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater or The Villages, I can make a convenient house call to your home, or meet you at a safe, convenient location in public to appraise your items.

If you live outside the local area, I’ll send you a free, insured appraisal and shipping kit. We pay for you to ship your watches to Florida. After inspection, we make an offer. If you like it, you get paid immediately. If not, we pay to ship everything right back to you.

Christopher the Watch Guy is a mobile and online based business in St. Petersburg, Florida. If you’re local to the Tampa-St. Petersburg area or The Villages, I’ll come to you. If you’re outside of the area, I’ll ship you a free, insured appraisal kit by mail.

In most cases, we offer more than any store will offer you for your watches or gold. If we can’t take your items, we’ll help you figure out what to do with them next. There’s no pressure to sell, and the offers are always free.

You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email at christopherthewatchguy@gmail.com. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

That depends! But our offers are always based on the market for used watches, and I’m always happy to provide documentation showing you how we arrived at our number. I want this process to be transparent.

Typically we buy watches between $25 and $5,000, based on demand, condition and included accessories such as boxes, links and warranty cards.
