I had an outstanding experience working with Carlos and the team at The 1916 Company. Over the course of my time with them, I purchased two watches, including one from their pre-owned collection, and every step of the process was handled with professionalism, transparency, and genuine care. Carlos, in particular, was exceptional. He took the time to understand what I was looking for, never applied pressure, and made the entire experience feel thoughtful and personalized. Whether it was discussing options, answering questions, or coordinating details, everything was smooth and well communicated. I also sold a watch to them as part of the process, and that transaction was just as seamless. The evaluation was fair, the communication was clear, and the execution was efficient from start to finish. What stood out most was the consistency across the entire experience. Buying new, buying pre-owned, and selling a watch all felt equally easy and well managed. That level of trust and professionalism is not something you find everywhere. I highly recommend Carlos and The 1916 Company and look forward to continuing the relationship in the future.

I walked into the new 1916 Company shop in Manhattan Beach about a month ago to inquire about getting a new factory bracelet for my Rolex. The staff was unbelievably helpful and friendly and was able to accommodate me immediately. Very pleased with my transaction, thank you again and look forward to purchasing my next watch with you all!

I bought an oris Aquis cal 400 in used very good condition. Upon arrival it presented as new. In addition, the ad said the watch had the majority of its warranty left. When I registered the watch at Oris I discovered it had never been registered before and I received the entire 10 year warranty. Extremely pleased

I purchased a JLC Reverso on July 8. On July 12, the strap broke. The staff always very helpful on the purchase. Francis was very responsive when I notified her. I am hopeful that there is a positive step from here. Presently I feel disappointed.

The website made the buying process simple and seamless, and the follow-up calls from my sales advisor were exceptional.

I recently purchased two watches from The 1916 Company in Newport Beach. I was assisted by Long Nguyen, and it was by far one of the best watch buying experiences I've had. Long was professional, friendly, had strong product knowledge, and helped me select two beautiful timepieces that perfectly matched what I was looking for. This experience earned The 1916 Company and Long my long-term loyalty as a client. I plan to make all my future watch purchases through Long and The 1916 Company. Many thanks for the excellent service and an amazing buying experience!

From the moment we stepped into the Denver location we felt relaxed . Our salesperson John was knowledgeable, helpful and explained the history of the company. He answered all our questions and made the transaction smooth and simple. We couldn’t love our purchases more.

I had a great experience purchasing a pre-owned Omega Seamaster from MJ. MJ was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to answer all of my questions without any pressure. The entire buying process was smooth, transparent, and enjoyable. I felt confident in my purchase and would gladly work with MJ again. If you’re looking for a quality pre-owned luxury watch, I highly recommend asking for MJ.
