Post subject: | Little Bit upset right now... |
I have to say.... I just called Tourneau in NYC in regards to the 50-70% off sale because I was interested in purchasing a Navi World as a impulse buy this afternoon. First off, the place that is having the sale IS NOT Tourneau! Its some other shop that I representing Tourneau and they are not an authorized dealer ![]() I then asked if I can purchase over the telephone and she says, "no". She tells me to take the train in from Philadelphia lol. I was a little baffled by this and wondering why but, what ever. Then I finally asked the dam lady who answered the phone if they even have a Navi World and she says, "I'm not too familiar with the brand so I'm really not sure." I said, "ok well I am not going to drive to philly then take a train to come see a watch that isn't even there ya know?" She responds, "WELL THATS THE RISK/GAMBLE YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE!" F - HER! ![]() I hope she gets ran the hell over by a bus when she walks home! Dam, for someone who is about to instantly drop 3 1/2g's like that, you think she would at least help me out somewhat by telling me if she even has the watch available! I literally told her to F Off and hung up the phone rather upset. |

Not even worth it my friend. Horrible first impression! I personally would rather spend the extra thousand and deal with nice people(Govberg's in Philly)! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

That's ridic. I would have dropped a deposit until you get there... Then if they pull anything strange, then have a good lunch and go home. Sounds a bad store. The tourneau nearby me has been very nice and politely. |

1) You are not going to get a Navi World at that discount. Period. Unless it "fell off a truck" somewhere... 2) The woman you spoke with on the phone was likely not a Tourneau employee. It's a sample sale run by a company that does nothing but sample sales. That company uses mostly temporary (read: low-paid) staff - she probably thinks Basel is what you sprinkle on your roast chicken. |

Yeah, I'd just relax about it. Not really worth getting that worked up over. If you're digging through the discount bin (which I don't blame you for doing), I wouldn't expect top notch service. Would you, for example, expect a Wal-Mart employee to have answers to questions about a specific brand of television? I would not, I'd go to a specialty store for that level of service. Let it roll off your back! |

You hope she gets run over by a bus?? Maybe put the $3k toward an anger management class. |

I usually will stop into Tourneau every once in awhile to see a big collection of watches in one place - I just got back from NY and saw the SuperOcean II (in Red - didn't like it) - but their customer service absolutely stinks and I always want to wash my hands after I leave. It's a good place to visit to check out a large selection of watches, but I would never buy a watch there. One thing I did find amusing though - they had a PAM 328 in the store, but the Panerai Boutique a block away didn't have any...go figure. |

That's pretty ridiculous. I agree: *Screw* her. Don't imagine she's too successful if paid on commission. Nice to see some helpful psychological help. When I tell story on a forum about how someone was a jackass, I like being told I need anger management. Uh oh, I just mentioned something that annoys me. Now I probably need anger management for that. ![]() |

I think you had the wrong idea of this sale. Its a trunk sale type operation. All surplus inventory, everything, is thrown into a large space, heavily discounted, and deal are struck. This was not a promotion whereby Tourneau (or the host of the sale) was offering discounts on stocked watches of 50-70%. From what I have read, a lot of the watches sold will be sold without boxes/some of the papers due to the simple fact that they get taken, destroyed, etc... Again, its a trunk sale, not a sale out of current inventory. The brochure posted made most of this clear. |
