Tourneaus Redeems Themselves
I started this thread the other day:
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...ight=Tourneaus Basically Tourneaus scratched up my watch trying to install a new strap. Well, the manager called me yesterday, told me to bring the watch down there so they could polish the scratches out of the lugs, and offered to give me a refund ($215) on the strap I purchased! Well I am impressed! So a big Thank You to Tourneaus for making things right.

That is what GOOD business is all about. It's called customer satisfaction.

Let's hope it's someone different doing the polishing.

I called the local store later on that day, but the manager was not in. I explained what happened to one of the employees, and she did say that she would relay the information, but I really didn't expect that to happen.

i am glad to hear this. i never had a good experience at the big t , so i avoided it like a plaque. even during my recent visit to the rolex boutique in nyc, the guys there were not helpful nor polite at all. however, i visited the san francisco boutique this this past weekend hoping to see the new 42mm explorer 2. and the gentleman, RYAN, totally turned things around 180. he was helpful, knowledgeable, and most importantly, respectful. i am actually considering buying a watch from the big t. i can't believe i just said that. but yeah, the big t is slowly making things right.

I cant see anything positive about this at all.
The fact that they scratched your Rolex at all is absurd! Can you imagine bringing your BMW to a dealership and finding that they have scratched a perfectly original paint job fitting a new tire? Should never happen...I would never do business with amateurs like them again... Just imagine what the world would be like if we all offered this level of service no matter what field of work your in.... |

Glad to hear. Sounds as you are satisfied and they made good on their mistake.

I've never had a "terrible" experience with them and assume it generally has more to do with the store management than anything else.

Good to hear and better that you posted. Most of us are quick to rip on things, but a bit slow to point out the positives. Way to go. And glad that you're wearing a smile and a nice watch.

hmmm cant say unpolished anymore.... how much is that worth on resale?
nice gesture of the strap.... if you want something done right, always seems you have to learn to do it yourself.

im glad that they took responsibility. its hard to believe that a place that is selling $500,000+ watches will scratch lugs.
anyway, fortunately it was resolved.

Glad to hear that they stepped up and took care of the issue. But they shouldn't have scratched it in the first place.

Glad to hear they made it right.
I have heard a lot of negative things about the big T over the years but have had no bad experiences. I go to NYC and Vegas a couple times a year and always try to pop my head in as they have such a big selection. Only piece I ever purchased from them was a PAM 243 and that was back in the days when NO one discounted Panerai. At least no one I could find on either coast so I paid full boat. They tried to replace a battery in my moms cartier tank last month and couldn't get the screws loose and suggested we send it off to Texas, so we did. |

It should not have come to the manager calling you -- this should be store policy -- afterall, they should know that their clientele is is not the teenage g-shock crowd, and will be anal about their watches.
