I recently purchased a timepiece from The 1916 Company, and the entire experience was nothing short of world-class. From the moment I first reached out, the team was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive.What really sets them apart is their transparency and the "old school" personal touch, including a handwritten thank-you note and constant updates throughout the shipping and authentication process. Whether you are buying a Rolex Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) piece or another luxury brand, their professionalism makes what could be a stressful purchase feel truly enjoyable and secure. I couldn’t be happier with my new watch and will definitely be returning to The 1916 Company for my next acquisition.

From the moment I reached out to create an appointment with the Rolex AD, to the moment I tried on my new acquisition, and all the moments in between, my experience with The 1916 Company has been phenomenal. Keane Jackson is a fantastic resource; I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone who's on the lookout for a new Rolex.

I have visited Rolex stores all over the world most of these stores did not treat me as a potential customer, but more of a bother. I was visting Denver and I viewed several watches I was treated very well by the sales associtate and ended up buying a certified rolex watch. Later in the same year I bought a second watch from this company. I was treated with respect and fairness. Finally, Juan Reyes called me and I bought a third watch. My first two watches were even nicer than I ever could have expected. I cannot articulate how much I have enjoyed my buying experience with the 1916 Company, I would highly recomend the sales people and especially Juan Reyes

How fortunate for Baltimore and the surrounding areas to have a world class jeweler just out side the beltway on Reisterstown Road. Easy, safe access with great parking. Friendly, knowledgeable staff offering a wide range of quality timepieces, quality jewelry, diamonds of every shape color and size as well as designer ladies bags. Incredible Rolex boutique and a huge preowned watch area. Full service location including expert repairs. If one has an item they wish to sell the 1916 company offers strong buy prices. One can spend minutes or hours in this special place. Highly recommended and definitely worth a visit. Talk about service I received a hand written thank you note after my purchases. Wow, Great job!!!

Any company is made up of its employees, and in the case of our two Rolex purchases, Alex Lazarus is at the apex of performing exceptional customer service. At the beginning of our search, we made attempts to contact in-store sales personnel, in which attempts were never responded to. We then made requests of store management to obtain assistance, which finally netted a phone call back with promises that a person would call. It was a phone call from Alex asking if he could assist, and subsequent conversations/emails that led to our purchases. It was very clear that his honesty, desire for a successful two-way outcome, and follow-up is why he is successful. Should you find yourself with the desire for a watch, Alex Lazarus should be your first point of contact, and if you do, you will find that you will have no need to look further.

I contacted August for a purchase of a pre-owned Grand Seiko watch on the company's website and it was a pleasure to work with him. He graciously offered to ship the watch overnight because the purchase occurred over a holiday. It arrived promptly and in beautiful shape! Since my husband and I gifted the watch, our son-in law is obsessed with it and won't take it off!! Great job, August. Your company is lucky to have you.

The 1916 Compnay delivers uncomprimised customer service at every opportunity. The team truely values their customer's time and business. We made an appointment with Rob Mullendore to look at a Rolex for my wife. He truely listended to her preferences as the different models and configurations were discussed and placed on her wrist. This attention to detail helped her decide on the perfect watch. The day she took delivery of her watch was amazing and certainly worth the wait. Charles Chaikaew did a great job explaing the features of the watch and most importantly made sure the fit on her wrist was perfect. Trust The 1916 Company to deliver the expierience you deserve...

Exceptional experience at The 1916 Company in Newport Beach. I worked with the team to secure a Rolex CPO for my 40th birthday, and the professionalism was top-tier. Now, as an Army Captain celebrating a promotion, I’m working with Aria on a new Datejust to mark this milestone. Aria’s expertise and focus on long-term relationships make this boutique the gold standard for local collectors. Highly recommend.

I had a fantastic experience working with C’Quon Gottlieb. He was timely, professional, and genuinely great to work with from start to finish. The entire process, from the first inquiry to getting my dream watch on my wrist, was smooth and enjoyable. Everything was handled thoughtfully and efficiently, and I always felt confident throughout the transaction. 10 out of 10 experience and I look forward to working with C’Quon again.
