From the moment we stepped into the Denver location we felt relaxed . Our salesperson John was knowledgeable, helpful and explained the history of the company. He answered all our questions and made the transaction smooth and simple. We couldn’t love our purchases more.

I had a great experience purchasing a pre-owned Omega Seamaster from MJ. MJ was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to answer all of my questions without any pressure. The entire buying process was smooth, transparent, and enjoyable. I felt confident in my purchase and would gladly work with MJ again. If you’re looking for a quality pre-owned luxury watch, I highly recommend asking for MJ.

Long term customer review: SHORT VERSION: Outstanding experiences at 1916 (previously Govberg) for nearly 20 years now. Strongly recommend - special thanks to Mike Juliana! LONGER VERSION: 1916 is a gem - I appreciate the level of care they put in to creating a great customer experience. The selection is exceptional, every watch is presented with great attention to detail, and the stores are beautiful welcoming spaces. But what makes it fun and special are the people! Customer service is top tier - the team are knowledgable, patient, and genuinely passionate about watches. They have taken the time over the years to help me find the right pieces, and never made me feel pressured. Whether it's aquiring a new watch, chatting over an espresso, or texting about latest travels - I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Mike Juliana. Highly recommend him if you are in the store - his expertise, professionalism, honesty, and great communication really stand out.

I met Garry at the Newport Beach store where I bought a CPO. That started what I believe is a long lasting business relationship since I followed him to the Manhattan Beach store. He made this gal very happy making my DJ 41mm mint green Rolex dream watch a reality. He is a true professional!

Outstanding experience with 1916 Watch Company. My schedule made it easier to purchase my Tudor online, and the process was fast, convenient, and communication was excellent from start to finish. The saleswoman at the Tudor boutique took the time to share the history of Tudor, and her knowledge and passion for the brand really made an impression on me. Everyone at the Denver location was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I'll definitely be buying my next watch in person at the Denver store. This time I bought online for convenience, but next time I want to walk out with a new watch on my wrist. Thank you to the entire team for a great experience.

Eddie and the entire team were fantastic. They made the entire buying process incredibly smooth and straightforward from start to finish. Eddie was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to answer all of my questions, making me feel confident throughout the purchase. The level of customer service exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a watch.

From the moment I walked in the door the entire staff was very accommodating. Everyone was attentive to my questions and offered many options. Julie was my salesperson and she has been an amazing person long after the purchase of the 2013 Captain America YachtMaster Rolex I gave to my husband for our 25th Wedding Anniversary! I'm thankful she was the individual that helped me with this memorable purchase!

I purchased a pre-owned Rolex from The 1916 Company which has been my grail watch since I was a kid. I worked with a gentleman named Alex and he assisted me by answering every question, explaining the process, and sending me updates every step of the way. The pricing for the CPO program is unmatched as well as the customer service. I’ll be a returning customer.

I had a great experience with Brennen at the IWC store at Scottsdale Fashion Square. I will admit that my prior experience at that same store was not as strong, but Brennen was easy to work with and he and I came to a sale with 24 hours. I am truly excited for this watch as my daughter helped choose it prior to my trip.
