I think the salesman was trying to push through his sales that's all.
Rolex watches are very versatile, they can usually go both formal and casual.
So relax and wear your GV however way you want it to be.
Remember, you carry the watch and not the other way around.

I used to work in that type of a sales scene.. And yes, he was trying to sell you a Breitling for sure!!! But he should have done it a little less rudely though.. I am wearing my Milguass with a light thin hoodie and a pair of khaki cargo shorts... I think it looks good!

Well you do have to consider where he "works"

The GV Milgauss is a beauty. Typical Tourneau salesmen techniques. I, personally have been in 2 or 3 Tourneaus and all their salesmen seem to be cut from the same cloth. They must have a School for training idiot salespeople. I have found that they either ignore you or are all over you trying to smother you. Never will I venture into another one.

BNA/LION · 5 September 2013, 03:11 AM

Sporty and Dressy, looks good on any occasion.

mastermixer · 5 September 2013, 03:21 AM

One of my favorite modern Rolex watches. I think it goes well in all occasions (like most modern Rolex).

I can't think of why he would say that, there must have been some motive to sell Breitling.

DolphinV8 · 5 September 2013, 03:35 AM

It's good for every occasion. Wife loves hers.

Argon · 5 September 2013, 04:07 AM

Firstly, it's green and has an orange lightning bolt as one of the hands... Awesome, but not dressy in my book.

Secondly, I wouldn't take any style advice from a jewelry/watch salesman unless he is well groomed and impeccably dressed, which is almost never the case. Most of the time, they are wearing ill fitting suits so I would just nod politely and do whatever i want to do without further thought on what they said.

wingku · 5 September 2013, 07:43 AM

Plain and simple, salesman is an idiot trying to make a sale to a knowledgeable watch collector and exposed his ignorance.

OML · 5 September 2013, 08:32 AM

Never- I mean never- buy anything- I mean anything- from Tourneau!

TimeOnMyHands · 5 September 2013, 08:34 AM

Found the GV I owned was too flashy with those PCL's. I had many people comment about how shiny the bracelet was in comparison to the matte dial and subdued green crystal....

Presa canary · 5 September 2013, 08:46 AM

Too dressy? Comical. Enjoy that watch in any attire you feel like wearing.

yessir69 · 5 September 2013, 10:00 AM

I think anyone working at Tour-nut is probably a little slow in the head. Don't worry about it.

swils8610 · 5 September 2013, 10:22 AM

The salesman is an idiot. I wear my GV with jeans all the time.

Until then its just jeans and tees.

Absolutely love your pic!!!! And everything you're wearing works great with the GV!!! I wear mine with all types of attire. I think it's the perfect all around watch! Of course there is no date, but if I had wanted the date I wouldn't have gotten the GV... SO I'm quite thrilled!!!

Ravager135 · 5 September 2013, 11:24 AM

The GV looks awesome with denim. I used to wear mine with jeans and a pocket tee all the time.

On a different note, do you think your Hulk is as versatile as the GV is?

I have an LV not an LVc but if you add a bit of reflection from the greenery:

superdog · 5 September 2013, 11:50 AM

Dude. You should not even be concerning urself with this.

A gold day date looks AMAZING with jeans and sneakers.

Surely you can wear that gorgeous GV with anything. Or nothing at all, which is how I prefer to wear my watches.

mdozier · 5 September 2013, 12:08 PM

Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous.
Wear it like you wish. It looks fine dressed up or down. It's your watch and you can wear it as you please.

lamnyc · 5 September 2013, 12:09 PM

Idiot salesman.

SohAIS · 5 September 2013, 01:02 PM

GV looks awesome in any attire.

Pyclah · 5 September 2013, 01:10 PM

The salesman was a stroke, and that GV is gorgeous.

james1787 · 5 September 2013, 01:35 PM

LOL wow.. the GV too dressy? He'd probably keel over if someone walked in with a YG DD and jeans / t-shirt. Talk about poor tactics to sell something.. I guess it must work on some people??

CWIN · 5 September 2013, 01:43 PM

Not a fan of them. I also wouldn't care what anyone thinks. But and wear what you love.

masterkiller · 5 September 2013, 02:58 PM

He is a douchebag obviously....

salty_snack · 5 September 2013, 03:03 PM

That salesman is an idiot. Maybe he should be wearing a breitling. It seems to be about the caliber of person he is.

My very first thought about the salesman was "what an idiot!"

Dr. Robert · 5 September 2013, 04:00 PM

IMHO, PCLs make any SS tool watch look dressy......the current GMTs, Daytonas, Milgausses...tool watches turned into jewel watches......maybe it's ok on a DJ.....& I prefer DJs w/ brushed links on an oyster band. IMHO, a brushed oyster band can be dressy & casual depending on ones attire, etc.
All I can say about this state of affairs is....bah humbug.

Rock · 5 September 2013, 04:36 PM

There are salesmen and then there are SALESMEN.
I get a big laugh out of some of the things people say when they are trying to sell you something.
There's often an opportunity to 'take the p155'
I'm never offended by people who simply wouldn't know.
You're wearing the Rolex!
