“My recent experience at The 1916 Company was excellent and left a strong impression. The visit felt personal, thoughtful, and genuinely relationship-focused rather than transactional. The team created an environment where I felt welcomed and valued, and the overall experience reflected a high level of professionalism and attention to detail.”

“Recently reached out to the 1916 Company in Ardmore as I was interested in a Tudor Black Bay GMT watch. Spoke with Mariel who was incredibly friendly and very helpful. After staying in touch with me, I came into the store a few weeks later and could not of had a better experience with Mariel and 1916. Mariel took the time to both explain the watch I was interested in and show me some other models that I may like. In the entire time I never felt rushed, pressured, or at any time, did it feel as if I was dealing with someone who was not knowledgeable. Mariel was able to answer all my questions. In the end, I purchased my first Tudor and could not of been happier with both my purchase and my experience. I look forward to continuing my relationship and returning to Mariel and the 1916 Company in Ardmore.”

“I had an outstanding experience purchasing my first Rolex at 1916 Company, and I want to specifically recognize Daniel Perlsweig for making the entire process exceptional. From the very beginning, Daniel was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly welcoming. As a first-time Rolex buyer, I really appreciated how he took the time to walk me through the brand’s history, different models, and what to expect throughout the process. He was transparent, patient, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. What stood out most was his genuine enthusiasm and attention to detail. Daniel made what could have been an intimidating purchase feel exciting and memorable. Thanks to him, my first Rolex experience was truly special.”

“Genuinely outstanding buying experience. Ryan and Hans were great to deal with and the De Bethune watch we purchased is incredible. I enjoyed the Friday night event they had to learn more about 1916 Company and its watches. I hope to continue to build out my watch collection with 1916's help.”

“Had the opportunity to work with Mariel on numerous watches. These were gifts and some complexity with the overall order. Mariel handled it flawlessly and took care of every detail - gift wrapping, presentation, and timely delivery. Incredible buying experience. Made a complex order very simple. Trying to find more excuses to work with Mariel again!”

“I love working with the 1916 company. My Customer Advocate Matt has truly been my advocate. I can always trust him for the best advice and assistance. I also appreciated the personalized video that Tim produced on a special Breguet. As a woman collector, I always felt a little uneasy in the watch collector’s world. Therefore I’d like to thank the 1916 company and Matt for making my experience precious. Great work team!”

“Even though I'm in the UK, this is the second time I have purchased from 1916. For me, they are up there with Subdial as the best secondary market watch sellers. Great watch but also great communication and quick delivery.”

“I essentially traded a couple of watches for a cpo Rolex. Layla was very good to work with, friendly and very timely with communication. The process was pretty smooth and there was very little inconvenience. Price was competitive, especially considering 2 year Rolex international warranty. I was very pleased with the transaction and am very happy with the "new" watch.”

“I’ve been working with The 1916 Company for some time now, and my recent experience with a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona in white gold with the blue dial, reference 126509, really reinforced why I intend to stay with them for the long haul. This is a special piece for me, and it was handled with the kind of care and professionalism you hope for but don’t always get in the watch world. What I’ve appreciated most over time is that they treat the relationship as something to build, not just a one-off sale. The team has taken the time to understand what I like, how I think about my collection, and where I want it to go over the years. Conversations never feel rushed or transactional, and I always feel like they’re genuinely working with me to find the right pieces, not just the available ones. With the Daytona specifically, I’m very aware of how tight the market with Rolex is for the Daytona line, so I did not take that allocation lightly. It was clear that there was real effort and advocacy behind the scenes to make it happen, and it came together in a timeframe that frankly exceeded my expectations. The communication throughout was straightforward and consistent, which made the whole process feel smooth and respectful. Beyond this one watch, my experiences across other brands they carry have been similarly solid. Whether it’s discussing potential future pieces or revisiting ones I’ve been thinking about for a while, I always walk away feeling heard and well looked after. That’s ultimately why I see this as a long-term home for my collecting rather than just another store I’ve bought a watch from. If you’re someone who cares about building a meaningful collection over time, and you value clear communication, professionalism, and a genuine relationship, I’d strongly recommend working with The 1916 Company.”
