5 floors? WOW...I wish I would have known about that....I am picking it up Friday...Gonna keep it a surprise and post pics of it when its in my hands...5 floors of watches? I cannot understand why I dont know about that place...I may have to take a run there...lol

Whoa...some nice wrist iron there! Glad you found something to buy. Tourneau is a fun place to shop....I just wish they didn't hop on top of your back until you had a chance to look around first. I got the wife a nice Tag with the $700 off coupon at Thanksgiving. I asked for $700 off on another watch ($3000) and they would only go $500...... , there always next year. Can't wait to see what you got!!

You are very welcome sir ! Can't wait to see what you got !

dont forget invicta in the basement! Cant wait to see what you ended up with, if you got a deep sea i hate you Jack!!! I kid, love that watch and think i could live with just one watch if that was it!

cool day you had, can't wait to see your pics.

Way to go Jack, I'm glad you were able to go in and see the store! You tried on some serious wristwear there! I think ANY of then 'cept for the Cartier would work for me! I can't wait to see the pics of what you got! BTW, congrats on the new purchase! If it was one of the ones you tried on, you're a real lucky guy for sure!!

Thanks Ron...yeah had a great day...Wife surprised me and made it that much better..especially when she walked out saying she learned so much today about watches and why I am so passionate about them...that alone was worth the trip.

Thanks Brian...I am truly blessed...all the watches were amazing and it made my choice difficult.

You know Jack, therre's part of me that's really jeleous because living in the middle of the US in Indiana, there really isn't a Tourneau near me. The only one I've been to is in Naples, FL when I go down to visit my parents for Spring Break and that store is pretty small. The other problem with the Naples store is, the people that work in there are serious asshole snobs and that's putting it mildly! I've gone in there 2 times and they both were aweful experiences! I'll never go back. Maybe the next time I get to NYC on business I can fineagle a trip to a Tourneau there! In any case it looks like you had a blast and that's awesome!

Sorry to hear about that bad experience brian....I wouldnt go back either so they can go F themselves...Every Tourneau I have been to in NYC and NJ always treated me with respect. Next time you make your way to nyc go to the 57th street location like porschefan recommended...5 floors of watches...They will treat you well.

Cant wait jack, but hope you will love it! I have all the big dollar, no discount shops about 15 minutes away in carmel! Amazes me that people will pay those prices! Have a big Tourneau at a real upscale section of San Jose thats called Santana Row, its about 50 minutes away and the people seem nice enough but the few i've dealt with didnt know a quartz from an automatic!!

Yeah it amazes me also that people will pay those prices. I have a good connection so I'm getting a good discount. It was also refreshing that the salesman was very knowledgeable and taught me a few things that I didn't know..not like I am a pro but it was nice to learn also.

Sure...its stainless steel....Swiss made...

That store on 57th is my favorite way to spend a few hours in the city. You're right, those people really know their stuff!

Ok this is what I picked up...I am so happy I pulled the trigger on this bad boy..This has been a watch for me for many years and I finally was blessed enough to snag it....Here you go full reveal.....It also comes with a 5 year factory warranty so I'm in the clear...This also has a special battery never before used or seen in the market. Guaranteed to last for 25 years. So I feel like my money was spent wisely.Everyone really needs to add one of these bad boys to your collection..trust me this is where the market is going. it has a plexi glass crystal and can resist water up to 16 oz...
