My 42mm GMT IIC

[Watch Professor]

Recently in the Tourneau store in the Caesars Mall in Las Vegas, I removed my GMT IIC in order to try on an Explorer 42.

I mentioned to the saleswoman that I want to see the 42mm size on my small wrist. Her response was classic. " But sir, your GMT is a 42mm so you shouldn't have any problem with the Explorer."

I then told her that the GMT is 40mm and she insisted that I was wrong, and picking up my watch and said that if it's 40mm, it must be a fake.

By now I was getting annoyed and I told her to get the Rolex dealer catalogue and check the stats of the sport watches. She refused and with an arrogant huff, placed the Explorer back in the showcase and walked away. I tried to find a manager to complain to, but there wasn't one available.

While I have had excellent experiences in local Tourneau stores on Long Island, the Vegas store maintains it's reputation. Large stock, miserable, ignorant and arrogant sales people.
