“I would highly recommend 1916 Company. From the moment that we walked in to the minute that we left, everyone was extremely friendly. We worked with Jas and she was very knowledgeable and helpful. She explained everything in detail, gave us her expert opinion and made us a great deal. If you are looking for a friendly, family type of atmosphere this is your place.”

“I recently purchased from The 1916 Company and the entire experience was exactly what you hope for—professional, efficient, and seamless. The trade-in process was handled cleanly with fair valuation and no back-and-forth issues. Communication was clear throughout, and shipping was fast and secure. Matt Parker ensured everything was handled properly from start to finish and followed through on every detail. Bottom line: a trusted, reliable source where you can transact with confidence—no concerns around quality or authenticity. I’ll be doing business with them again.”

“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.”
