Tourneau

I'll be visiting Honolulu, HI for the next week and planned on stopping in the local branch.

When it comes to Rolex and other watch pricing, is there any sort of leeway I could anticipate when it comes to price?

Depends on the model. Some yes, some you’d just be lucky to find.and pay full price. What are you interested in?

Tourneau

There have been times when cash payment could eliminate sales tax. It was a few years back so no guarantees. Of course, you might get better deal on the watches that are slow to move - like the gold ones.

Also, perhaps add Honolulu Time Co. to your itinerary for watch shopping. David may have something in pre-owned that would save you thousands...

Depends on their willingness to negotiate; however, I would not expect much of a discount from a chain like Tourneau.

I have myself a white faced moonphase Speedy and a dressier Aqua Terra date on leather. I'm looking at getting a sports/diver, Sub/GMT something in that sort of neighborhood.

Do not expect a discount from Tourneau. The best they would do for me was to take off the sales tax because I lived in another state.

You may know this already, but the Tourneau here does not stock new Rolex watches. Only used. Honolulu Time Co. is a better source for used watches.

white faced speedy is great! So, if you're looking at the sport line in SS you will be lucky if they have much in stock and what they have will likely not be too flexible on. If you're looking at the sub/GMT in TT or PM, you may save a little bit off MSRP though.

It's even better in person.
