Unethical ADs
Hey guys,
Hope everyone is well and in good health. Wanted to kindly reach out to ask if anyone has a contact at the bucherer / tourneau corporate offices. Have been a client por 15 years and want to report unethical sales practices. It is a shame how the purchasing dynamics have evolved. Hope everyone has a great sunday. |

With the amount of people waiting for years for watches that never come they might get a few more phone calls. Although they could spend thousands on things they don’t need to make that wait shorter

Unethical ADs
LOL
I assume you want the mailing address in lieu of phone number so you can write a sternly-worded letter. Out of curiosity, to what cannon of ethics do you believe this jewelry store is failing to follow? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

What may seem like "unethical sales practices" to one person, may not be to another person. ADs cannot please everyone where demand exceeds supply.

Most of the watches I purchased from tourneau were not "hot" watches. Mainly Hublot, Breitling, Romaine Jerome, Ressence, among other brands. The issue I faced with the sales associate was over a watch I passed on. I was more or less told I would not be considered for the reference I actually wanted, because I did not purchase a sprite gmt. Any way, I think I wont even bother and just move on! Hope everyone has a grat day :)

This is why in the current era it is best to just buy any watch they offer you, as long as you can sell it and break even, even if you don’t want it. The purists will disagree and say “only buy a watch you want!!!,” but this is necessary if you want to keep getting offered watches of increasing prominence and rarity.

Were they not happy when you didn’t leave a gift ?
I told you it’s just a sign of appreciation ………

Sorry, but unless I am misunderstanding that doesn’t make any sense. The VTNR GMT is a very in-demand watch. An AD will have zero issue trying to find a buyer for it, so it is not likely they are upset you passed or would put the Sprite as something to pressure you to buy in order to get a better piece. Makes zero sense. The watches an AD pressures you to buy are the undesirable (less desirable) ones like a diamond set ladies DJ - not a steel GMT. Did I misunderstand or is there more to this story?

Frankly, I don’t even think so in that case. Again, zero effort to find another buyer for a VTNR. Maybe if he has a history of requesting watches and then changing his mind when offered would this make more sense. Or he asked them to hold the VTNR for a couple weeks because he was out of town or something and then changed his mind… either way, I don’t think we got the full story.

Yeah, No! There’s a lot more to that story, and it looks like we’ll never know the rest of it. That made no sense.

It’s a bummer to see so many people basically support the lack of ethics we all know a few ADs are guilty of.
