The 1916 Co is “the” go to place for your watch. Confidence and trust in the quality of the watch you receive is unmatched. Great pricing and great selection, no need to look elsewhere !!!!

I purchased a breitling super ocean from the 1916 company.. The watch was in great shape and a very fair price. When the watch arrived the bracelet was a little too small for my large wrist. I contacted 1916 about the issue and they found me a matching link and sent it free of charge. I highly recommend the 1916 company I will be doing business with them again in the future.

I recently purchased a like new Omega Dark side of the Moon watch. I worked with Kaleb and he was Outstanding he guided me through the entire process and answered all of my questions. The 1916 Company offers new and preowned watches in superb condition. I will not hesitate to make another watch purchase from them. If you are in the market for a new or preowned watch give the 1916 Company a look. Thanks Kaleb and 1916 Company!!

I purchased a previously owned Grand Seiko Heritage 60th anniversary edition through eBay. They were communicative and flexible on pricing and the watch was in perfect condition. I would absolutely purchase from them again.

My sales associate, Kaleb Schmidt, was/is awesome! A used Omega Seamaster that I had originally wanted to purchase sold right before I was ready to buy. Kaleb pointed me to another piece that was identical and came with extra straps for the same price. Could not be more impressed with the help. Also, my "used" watch is in brand new condition and looks absolutely incredible. Thank you Kaleb and thank you 1916 Company! It was a pleasure doing buisness with you

A wonderful experience was had via my purchase at 1916/Watchbox! The information on the website was clearly presented, Mr. Bill Comfort, my representative, was highly responsive and professional with my inquiries. I am pleased that Rolex offers a certified pre-owned program! This certified designation was a major reason I chose to purchase from this establishment. Thank you for a most pleasant experience!

My advisor is Layla; all I can say is WOW! She makes purchasing super easy and fun! I have purchased several high-end watches from Watch Box, specifically from Layla. She works hard to build trust and quality service. She is always prompt and easy to work with.

The process of purchasing a preowned watch on Watch Box could not have been better. From the initial clarity of the website, to the personal phone call to confirm the order, to the shipping and delivery everything was handled professionally and expeditiously. The post purchase check ins are, not surprisingly, attentive. Love the watch and the experience.

Very professional and courteous. Responsive with the personal touch. This group seems like what they claim--they are watch enthusiasts, as well as experts. Very happy with my Omega Dark Side. Watch came pristine and sparkling. Justin was great.

My client adviser, Bill Comfort, advised me on the purchase of my first Patek Philippe annual calendar with complications. Bill was extraordinary in assisting me and went beyond processing the purchase. He anticipated my concerns, addressed them, and found solutions. He instills trust. I purchased my Patek from the right store and an exceptional Client Adviser, Bill Comfort. Extremely happy with the experience.

Every aspect of my interactions with The Watch Box were outstanding. All transactions took place as promised and both of my Rolex watches were beautiful. I would highly recommend The Watch Box! Please ask for Layla Reslan. She is awesome!

Kaleb was wondeful to work with. It was the first time I purchased a luxury watch online, rather than through an authorized dealer (brick and mortar). Answered all of my concerns and questions about the watch in a timely manner. Watch arrived as described and as depicted in the pictures.

Our advisor, Layla Reslan, was very knowledgeable and responsive regarding several watch purchases. She ensured all of our questions were answered, and the both watches arrived in the condition promised and on time or better. Very pleasant experience dealing with her.

I highly recommend Watchbox. Bill Comfort is the MAN. I bought two watches through him within a month. He was always responsive, available (including after hours) and honest. Great experience and customer service. He will always be my go-to advisor on all my future purchases.
