The 1916 Company & WatchBox Scraper: luxury watch prices

Scrape the luxury watch inventory of The 1916 Company (the dealer formed by WatchBox, Govberg and Hyde Park; thewatchbox.com now redirects there): pre-owned watches, new watches and Rolex Certified Pre-Owned, by brand, by model family or for a whole section. Every watch comes with its brand, model, reference number, condition, price and currency, original price when it's on sale, year and case size when shown, images and URL. Optionally add box and papers, movement, calibre, power reserve, case, dial and bracelet details, complications, the showroom holding it, the date it was listed and the full specs table. No login, no cookies, no account.

How to use it

1. Pick a condition: pre-owned, new, Rolex Certified Pre-Owned, or all.
2. Add brands such as Omega, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier or A. Lange & Söhne, or paste brand / model-family pages into The 1916 Company URLs (e.g. https://www.the1916company.com/pre-owned/omega/speedmaster/). With no brands and no URLs, the whole section is scraped.
3. Set Max watches, a sort order and any filters, then run.

Use cases

• Watch price research: track asking prices by brand, model, reference and year for the pre-owned market.
• Dealer and collector monitoring: get new arrivals daily (sort by newest) and price drops (onSale, originalPrice).
• Inventory analysis: how many pieces of a reference are for sale, at what prices, with or without box and papers, in which showroom.
• Feeding a watch price database alongside other marketplaces.

FAQ

Do I need an account, cookies or a login? No. The scraper reads the same public pages any visitor sees. It never logs in and needs nothing from you except a condition, a brand or a URL.

Does it work for WatchBox? Yes. WatchBox is now The 1916 Company, and thewatchbox.com redirects to the1916company.com, so its inventory is this inventory. Links on thewatchbox.com that use the current paths (…/pre-owned/…, …/watches/…, …/rolex-certified-pre-owned/…) are read on the1916company.com; old WatchBox shop links (…/shop/…) no longer lead to the same watches, so use a brand or the current page instead.

Why are prices in US dollars? Can I get another currency? The 1916 Company prices pre-owned and Rolex CPO watches in the visitor's local currency. The scraper uses US proxies by default, so you get US dollars. Pick another proxy country in the Proxy setting to get that country's prices; every row says its currency. New watches are listed in US dollars.

Why do some new watches have no price? Some brands are sold on request. Those rows have priceOnRequest: true and no price; they are left out when you set a price filter.

How many watches can I get? All of them. The site shows at most 200 watches per page, so a bigger brand or section is read brand by brand and model family by model family, automatically.

Is there a keyword search? The site's search pages are off-limits to crawlers (robots.txt), so the scraper reads brand and model pages instead. Use Keywords to keep only watches whose name, model or reference contains a word, e.g. 126610LN or moonphase.

Does sorting work across brands? Sorting applies to each page the site lists. When a big section is read brand by brand (or Rolex CPO model by model), the order applies within each brand or model.

Which proxy should I use? Keep the default (Apify Proxy, datacenter, United States). It comes with every Apify plan, including the free one. If the site refuses datacenter IPs for a while, the run switches to residential proxies when your account has them.

What does a run cost? You pay per watch saved, per listing page read, a small fee per run, and per watch page opened when you ask for details or for box-and-papers filtering (also when that watch is then left out). See the Pricing tab. Watches left out by your filters are never charged as watches.

Is it legal to scrape The 1916 Company? This Actor only collects publicly available data: the dealer's own watch listings that anyone can see without an account, such as the brand, model, reference number, condition, price and specifications. Collecting publicly available data is generally legal, but you're responsible for how you use it. The listings describe watches, not people; no personal data is collected. You must follow privacy laws such as GDPR, PIPEDA and CCPA, as well as the site's terms. If you're unsure, check with a lawyer. More on this: Is web scraping legal?

Does it access any private data? No. Everything comes from pages the site shows to any visitor without logging in. It never uses a login, never touches accounts, carts or wishlists, and follows the site's robots.txt.
