I recently purchased a Omega watch from Joe Ni. He was attentive, communicated back with the info in a timely fashion and was very welcoming. Looking forward to future purchases with Joe.

Very happy with my overall experience. My old representative left but was still able to get my watch within a four month timeframe. Charles is my new representative and he made my first Rolex purchase very personable. Hoping to get another call for my next watch!

Absolutely fantastic sales team. Both Jennifer and Max have been incredibly kind and helpful. The CPO selection is surprisingly large and diverse. I love stopping by to browse and see what's new in the selection.

I want to make sure the credit for my 126710 Coke purchase goes where it belongs. The guidance I received from Shane Hoefer at Hyde Park Denver was instrumental. He has been a great mentor through my Rolex journey — first with the GMT Master II 116710LN, then the 126710BLNR, both sourced through 1916 and both pieces I’m proud to wear. I look forward to continuing to build my heirloom collection with Shane in the future.

I recently purchased my Rolex Datejust with Garry Chen at The 1916 Company, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Garry was extremely diligent in finding the exact model I wanted. He stayed in close contact throughout the process, was always responsive, and made everything feel straightforward and professional. Beyond that, he was genuinely kind and personable, a rare combination in this space. I’m very glad I worked with him. Highly recommended. Boris”

The entire experience was best in class. From sourcing, to the actual pickup of the watch. Erik was extremely knowledgeable of not just the particular watch I purchased, but the business and industry in general. It didn't feel like just a watch purchase, it felt like a watch experience. This was also my first time dealing with 1916 and the showroom was beautiful, staff was welcoming and I will definitely be returning.

I am extremely satisfied with my recent experience, and while the location plays a role, my primary appreciation stems from the knowledge and experience of Russell. The detailed explanation he provided about the watch was particularly impressive. I have not encountered anyone with Russell's level of expertise elsewhere. I will continue to purchase Rolex watches at the 1916 Wilmington location as long as Russell is employed there and assisting me.

I’m very impressed with my purchase through the 1916 Company. I received timely responses to my queries and a live person, Max, to speak with that made the whole experience a pleasure. My timepiece arrived promptly, packaged with care and looking even better than the pictures displayed on-line.

An absolute pleasure to work with and very professional service. Both store manage Jonathan and my consultant Zachary was great to work with and they managed to surprise me with a great gift for my birthday. Great location, staff and collection. Would recommend anyone looking for a watch or jewelry.

Customer service at The 1916 Company in Manhattan Beach Village is superb. From the security guards to the sales representatives, my husband and I were greeted with warm smiles and made to feel welcomed. Rachel was very personable and professional, providing clear communication regarding an item's off-site location and its delivery to the MBV store on a different day so I could see it in person. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and working with Rachel made our experience with The 1916 Company such a pleasure. High quality service and products!

This is our first purchase with 1916 Company. Very impressed with the Staff , very knowledgable , and helpful. We most enjoyed their knowledge of the jewelry and responded to our needs without the “high pressure” sometimes present when purchasing luxury goods . We have recommended 916!to friends and family. Lyn and Amy are certainly assets to 916.

I had such a great experience with 1916 Company. I walked in hoping to try on a Day-Date, but ended up falling in love with the new Datejust 41 with the green ombré dial (Ref. M126300-0025). Erica was genuinely interested in what I was looking for, super friendly, and made the whole experience feel very personal. I mentioned that my 24th wedding anniversary was coming up, and she added me to the waitlist. I honestly expected to wait quite a while, so I was shocked when she reached out and said my watch had arrived. Couldn’t be happier with how everything worked out!
