Just spent a few days in Las Vegas.......

[Director EDTF]

So the trip started out with our arrival at the Mirage with me wearing my DEEPSEA Seadweller and smoking an evening cigar. The next day my son, wife and I took a walk on the strip and right next door to the Mirage are the Forum Shoppes in Caesars Palace. Now I know many of you are going to have shivers up and down your spine but the first watch store you pass has been the subject of much criticism on this forum, yes Torneau. We go into look and the Rolex display cases are filled with datejusts and day dates many with a lot of shiny diamonds. On the other side of that display case is another Rolex case with a yacht master and the black two tone sub. The salesman Peter Avila was a knowledgeable young man who started in the store as a tech. He asked me if I wanted to try it on and I immediately acquiesced and was hooked! I always liked this watch and yes I am on the older side. My dear wife insisted that I buy the watch. She really doesn’t understand the disease but supports my habit.

Bottom line is Torneau is like any other store. You could end up with a terrible salesperson or you could end up with one that wants to assist you. I was dressed in shorts and a ball cap but Peter still showed me the watch and let me try it on. I also ended up with a lovely Rolex brand watch travel wallet and a book, A man and his watch. All in all a really great experience at Torneau.

Agreed. Blind hatred for any company or store is ignorant.

The Vegas Tourneau is really a step above all other Tourneaus.

Glad they were of service to you and it's nice to hear there's a good store out there. Unfortunately, I've been on the short end of the stick with them. (Other locations.) Wear it in health and enjoy. :)

Congrats. Will need many good stories like this to change my opinion of Tourneau, but it's a start.

[ReyWithAnE]

I’ve had several conversations with Peter at Tourneau, Las Vegas. All around great guy.

Love the TT. Great story and experience. Enjoy

[Big J]

That's great news. I really like that too.

[ColtAuto7]

I like the TT Sub's and that's a nice one. We are fortunate when a significant acquisition also carries with it a good story and memory.

Congratulations.

Congratulations on a very nice Subdate. I have bought several watches from three different Tourneau locations, Las Vegas, Waikiki and Scottsdale (sadly, now closed) as well as online and have had nothing but positive experiences.

Excellent choice! Congrats!

[avidflyer]

I bought a Panerai gmt from there my last trip out. Had great service

[jsausley]

Kind of cool if they gave you a copy of Matt Hranek's book. It's a really cool book.

[Psijason]

Sounds like you had a fantastic day! I personally like the TT Sub a lot. It's dressy but ballsy. Wear it in good health!!!
