Who wants to laugh? (Tourneau story)
While shopping today in Century City (Los Angeles) I went into the Tourneau shop in the Century City Mall. Side not the Century City mall is an out door mall and on a 70 degree L.A. day it was great!
Anywho, so I go into Tourneau find the Rolex boutique and proceed to ask the salesman… Me: "Excuse, I'm sure I already know the answer here, but do you guys have an SS Daytona in the back?" Salesman: "Why yes we do!" Me: "REALLY?!?!?! So any chances a regular guy off the street can buy it for msrp?" Salesman: "You may have it however it is a preowned model and we are selling it for $17,000." Me: "What!?!?!?!? No, no the SS retails at $6975 and can be bought on the grey market for $9500 to $11000 BNIB. You must meant it's a preowned WG for $17,000." Salesman: "No, the Daytona is a highly desirable watch, it is $17,000." That was it; I walked straight out the door. I was truly insulted. I mean really, he insulted me, Tourneau, and himself. Either A) This guy is a complete MORON who doesn't know his own ass from his elbow when it comes to the product he is selling, B) Tourneau is an absolute JOKE when it comes to their pricing or C) BOTH OF THE ABOVE!!!!! I have NEVER had a positive experience in ANY Tourneau store, and can not think of ANY reason why I would EVER give them my business.
