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.

After following Watch Box since its inception, I just completed my first transaction. Bill Comfort was great, with clear, prompt communications and helped me trade my son's 41 mm Royal Oak for a 39 mm Royal Oak Jumbo he'd decided he prefers. It made his Christmas merry. Everything was as described. I'm sure I'll do business with Watch Box in the future, especially now that the 1916 Company brings together several favorite retailers with Watch Box.
