The 1916 Company / WatchBox Pre-Owned Watch Listings Scraper

Scrapes pre-owned luxury watch listings from The 1916 Company (formerly WatchBox + Govberg + Radcliffe) — the largest certified pre-owned luxury watch dealer in the United States. Delivers a complete inventory snapshot with pricing, condition, and spec-table details for every pre-owned and Rolex Certified Pre-Owned listing.

What You Get

How It Works

The actor walks The 1916 Company's XML product sitemaps (sitemap-products-1.xml through sitemap-products-N.xml), which contain the full product URL set with per-URL <lastmod> freshness timestamps and primary <image:loc> thumbnails. It filters to pre-owned paths (/pre-owned/ and /rolex-certified-pre-owned/) and crawls each detail page to extract:

• JSON-LD @type:Product — name, brand, model, SKU, price, currency, availability, condition, description, and primary image
• PDPSpecs spec table — year, box/papers status, and reference number for standard pre-owned listings
• RlxCpoSpecs spec table — reference number for Rolex Certified Pre-Owned listings

No JavaScript rendering or proxy is required — all pages are server-side rendered.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
maxItems	Integer	Yes	Maximum number of listings to return (default: 10)

Use Cases

• Watch arbitrage — Compare 1916 CPO pricing against Chrono24 resale and Jomashop grey-market listings to identify flip opportunities
• Price intelligence — Track pricing trends for specific references across the CPO market
• Inventory monitoring — Monitor availability changes using the lastmod freshness signal and availability field
• Brand research — Survey the full pre-owned inventory for a specific brand or model family

Notes

• Covers the full pre-owned and Rolex Certified Pre-Owned inventory (approximately 5,000–10,000 active listings across multiple sitemap shards)
• The lastmod timestamp from the XML sitemap reflects when the listing was last updated (price change, availability change, or new listing)
• The Rolex Certified Pre-Owned section uses a different page layout — year and box/papers are embedded in the description rather than the spec table
• New (non-pre-owned) Rolex and brand-new watch pages are excluded; the actor targets only pre-owned inventory paths
