“I recently purchased a Tudor Black Bay Pro Opaline from The 1916 Company, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Gregory Durham was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process—from answering all my questions to making sure the watch was perfectly set up and ready to go. His professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail really stood out and made the purchase smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend both the watch and working with Gregory!”

“You need a trustworthy company when you are buying timepieces sight unseen and the 1916 company has definitely earned my trust. The watch arrived exactly as advertised and I am happy about it. However, there's a definite room for improvement in terms of communication. While I am satisfied with the product, the customer experience wasn't exactly stellar.”

“Nick L has been great! Traded a few watches in for one of my grails. Not only was it very quick and easy, but the trade in values I was given were fair and so was the price on the watch I wanted. Few months later reached out to Nick to sell a watch I had and in about 3 days total I had sent in my watch and gotten paid right to my account. Also must say the condition of the 2 pre owned watches I’ve gotten from them were fantastic. Been collecting for a while and this is the best company I’ve sold to, traded with, or purchased from…and it’s not even close!”

“Arrived to Philly from LA for a family engagement celebration event. Looking for a last-minute gift walked in without an appointment and was welcomed by one of the team members who introduced me to Eddie Colon one of the sales professionals at the gallery. Eddie was amazing and after discussing what I'm interested in, he called me in a few hours and made my day!!! Great location, friendly staff and super accommodating.... Michel P.”

“I have purchased three watched from 1916 Miami (Max is the best!). I sought out 1916 due to the Legend Tim Mosso (binging on his videos for years), and I can honestly say that Max and 1916 have always made me feel great about my purchase before, during and after. I wholeheartedly recommend them for your next luxury watch purchase. I also recommended my watch friend to Max and he had the same easy and professional experience.”

“The experience with my 1916 client advisor (Hans) was fantastic! He helped me make the right choice based on my preferences and the process to purchase was seamless. The packaging and unboxing was also a fantastic experience with great attention to detail, even setting my watch to my time zone and date.”
