chronos666 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Does Tourneau sell fakes? I met a guy in a bar who liked my rep Tudor (recent release). He showed me his Tourneau biz card and offered me $1700 cash for it to which I declined. He definitely knew it was a rep. Setting me up? Moron? Not an above board retailer? The AD employer thing made me nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Never heard of them selling fakes. Very reputable establishment from what I keep reading. A.) he started in the job yesterday? B.) had a drink too much? C.) with the smart business outfit You were wearing it couldn´t possibly be a rep.

Propofol Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Fishy storyThe guy was drunkTourneau does not sell fakes obviously And one salesman cannot buy a watch like that in a bar on behalf of the company .. does not work like that ..

bigw Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Tourneau is owned by an investment bank. Their sole plan is making money. They hire unqualified staff and don't pay them well, hence turnover is high. Staff is mostly not well educated. Bes guess is the offer was not binding until the "watchmaker" looked at it. Sales guy was looking for a commission,thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronos666 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Maybe it wasn't on behalf of Tourneau. Just his own money and he was showing off that he was a manager there and knew his stuff which he obviously didn't. Definitely wasn't drunk. But I can't help thinking it would have ended up in their pre owned section. 48 minutes ago, bigw said: Tourneau is owned by an investment bank. Their sole plan is making money.

I'm curious now. Do you know how the deal would have to take place for him to purchase on behalf of employer? Can he buy off eBay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigw Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 He would probably have to go in to the retail store, have the watchmaker look at it. If they bought it, he salesman gets a finds fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
