Wow. I got tired just reading that. I feel like I made the drive myself.

Sorry about your Turdneau experience.

I always cross the street when I see a Tourneau store coming up. I would not even buy a pack of gums from them!!

Next time I will do a search.

I was just in there yesterday. They had a nice selection of Rolex, but I didn't notice any green ones.

There are a lot around. I went into AD on Friday here and they had new LV and old LV as well sitting in case. I guess it depends where you live. The other AD in city has 2 of them in the case.

So was this the same person you spoke with on the phone?

BladeDogg · 8 November 2010, 06:40 PM

I wonder why they hire NON-watch people to work there...I just don't get it....

unclesallie · 8 November 2010, 07:06 PM

there's wholesale,retail, and then there's Tourneau! They sell huge amounts of watches both new and used. Why people buy from them? I'll never know for all the reasons stated in this thread.......

Tourneau will tell you anything to get you into the store. I had popped into one in Boston asking about the 16520 Daytona, even wrote it down for them and asked that they call if they ever run into one. 2 weeks later they called, said one had come in, I did the same thing, hurried in, and it was a 116520....And this after confirming the model I wanted on the phone before driving down.
