Buy from trusted sellers in TRF and save a bundle.

DavidSW is THE MAN. I have bought 5 or 6 Rolex watches from him now. Nothing like mailing him a $20,000+ personal check for a watch that he will not have for 4-6 weeks.

Honestly, I would probably trust that guy with my checkbook. He is a really upstanding guy

Seems like Tourneau doesn't care if the sell watches, and Wempe does.

Wempe ordered a watch for me to try on last time I was there. Called yesterday that they got it in. Going in tomorrow to see if I like it in person. If I don't - no problem.
It is always an awful experience in NYC Tourneau stores. One time they tried selling me a used Explorer II Polar for $5500 but for an extra $500 I would get a extra year warranty. Essentially selling a used watch for more than a new one.

Wempe is always a much better experience even when window shopping. When you have a store on 5th Ave. in NYC you need to expect most of the people walking into your store are window shoppers. You should not have staff giving customers attitude just for looking which is the norm at Tourneau.
