Hello everyone!
About two months ago I purchased a ceramic no data submariner through them, now I'm really missing the date and torn between not having picked the GMT master blnr.

Has anyone had any experience with trading in a watch at Tourneau?

Rt0203 · 16 January 2017, 07:20 AM

You'll lose quite a bit. Go with a trusted seller.

anothernewphone · 16 January 2017, 07:28 AM

Their offer will be offensive.

texex91 · 16 January 2017, 07:28 AM

mjclark32 · 16 January 2017, 07:30 AM

Hopefully it's in LNIB condition and you can do a face to face deal in NYC to retain as much $$ as possible

gregmoeck · 16 January 2017, 07:44 AM

It will cost you thousand's

tkc324 · 16 January 2017, 07:51 AM

If you enjoy being low balled and offended then by all means... If not I would contact a trusted seller or maybe sell it on here first...

slowturbo · 16 January 2017, 07:51 AM

Dont do it. They will lowball you on your watch and youll overpay for the new one.

Bobby Bushcraft · 16 January 2017, 07:55 AM

Don't do it

hallidc · 16 January 2017, 07:56 AM

Sell the watch on your own then buy a new watch. Trading it in is quick and easy, but your wallet will take a heavy hit.

HogwldFLTR · 16 January 2017, 08:29 AM

There's a reason they're Tour-"no."

Maxy · 16 January 2017, 08:31 AM

They'll give you an offer which you'll surely refuse!

zaydans · 16 January 2017, 08:36 AM

Would never do business with tourneau. That is a place to go for those that don't have a clue so gather the good advice provided here and use it to go get yourself a good price on your piece and a great deal on a new one!! Good luck.

Danny83 · 16 January 2017, 08:37 AM

They are worse then a Pawn shop might give you 3500 for it. Trust me

manans25 · 16 January 2017, 08:42 AM

Agree with above. Sell by any other means than at that store. Use a trusted seller and save thousands on another new sub w/ date.

Chadridv · 16 January 2017, 08:52 AM

Trade in/down at Tourneau.

Reach out to Takuya or Lee2375!

Andad · 16 January 2017, 08:59 AM

You would understand that their BP is retail less say 38%.

Factor in that this is now second hand and you would be lucky to receive 60% of their BP given that they may have to check it over and make a profit.

Could be you would be offered as little as 40% of you initial outlay.

Sell it privately and you will recoup more but this could take time.

Watchgeek5000 · 16 January 2017, 09:08 AM

Yes you will be offended by Tourneau's offer, but don't expect much from any dealer who plans on selling it for fair market value while also making a profit. Sell it privetly to someone who plans on keeping it.

1995akcoop · 16 January 2017, 09:10 AM

trades are quick and easy with them,,, only downside is ripping you off

Use a trusted seller. They will surely offer you pennies on the dollar

BillA · 16 January 2017, 09:37 AM

I looked into the same thing many many years ago with Tourneau, they took my watch in the back and when they came out with, 3 things:
1. A lowball offer to buy
2. Deducted from list price on a new piece.
3. They scratched the hell out of the lugs removing bracelet.

Foxglove · 16 January 2017, 09:47 AM

terrible idea as you've probably ascertained from others by now... but I am just +1'ing their sentiment.

watchwatcher · 16 January 2017, 09:49 AM

Not a good idea, as others have said.

You can either sell it yourself or contact a trusted seller and flip for what you want.

v6inspire · 16 January 2017, 09:58 AM

Sell it yourself or go with a trusted seller on this board.

Emmanuel69 · 16 January 2017, 10:05 AM

Thank You all for your comments!! It seems like a unanimous agreement on what my option is!
