Congrats to the both of you! Enjoy your trip!

Great score. Congratulations

I guess we are getting numb to the bundling game.
Congrats on the Hulk.

Chester01 · 20 February 2020, 10:55 PM

So let me get this right, your looking for a Pepsi, you get a green sub, and a watch for your wife and somehow as customers we are supposed to be content with this kind of bait and switch. I would have said look pal, Pepsi and watch for my wife or no deal. You could pick up the DJ for your wife at any AD.

GfromMT · 20 February 2020, 11:02 PM

Congrats and have a great vacation!

Like I said in another thread is all bullshit games these days. All about making $$$

Spot on. So many are drawn into the games these AD's play, so much so they feel like they have won the lottery when they've really just been conned!

rushca01 · 20 February 2020, 11:14 PM

Congrats! Been there several times, back in 2017 I tried on a 116719....wish I would have bought it. I was there last year 2019 and they had nothing and the SA wasn’t interested in talking about anything...

MTdweller · 20 February 2020, 11:17 PM

Congrats! Fortunate indeed. For both the watch find and sweet vacation spot!

Old Geezer · 20 February 2020, 11:36 PM

Congrats. LVc is a unique and beautiful piece. You will have to borrow it from your wife from time to time

rmlovett1 · 20 February 2020, 11:45 PM

Nice pickup! Congratulations!

Wow, that’s a small bundle too. Enjoy to all

They said it’s usually a 13-15k bundle watch.

adawil2002 · 21 February 2020, 03:04 AM

Maui wowie!

Ragnarok · 21 February 2020, 03:07 AM

That's a great bundle.

Very nice!

Unsurprising, however. Tourneau has readily accessible steel pieces they keep hidden and use as bargaining chips--in this case, for a DJ bundle.

I dated a girl once and she had had a LV that her ex fiancé gave to her but she never wore it. But now that I see this I can totally see how a lady can make this watch look great!

Was it Bethenny Frankel? What watch did you gift her during your tenure as her boyfriend??

A little disappointing to hear though... I've been to that AD a few times and they assured me they keep nothing in the back; that everything went straight into the display cases. I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I also don't like the idea of being straight out lied to by someone I would hope to give my money to. Probably naive. All sorts of business professionals lie to you. It's too bad that the state of the market these days places the AD's in the position of being able to do this and still have people lining up for to spend their money there.

Congrats on the hulk!

I agree with you. I've been straight out lied to by Tourneau (see my previous thread). And one of Tourneau's senior sales reps also assured me that everything goes "straight" to the case and they keep nothing in the back (false)--weeks after they said this, I called the manager asking for something specific and they said that all they had was [insert popular SS piece]. Of course, If I had walked into that store at that moment there would be no SS pieces in the display.

congrats!! did breezie help you?

i love that shop. great staff. although one of their SAs mistook my Linde Werdelin for a G-shock.

jrs146 · 21 February 2020, 03:27 AM

Great pickup! I'm normally not a fan of package deals, but the one you did seems awesome!

She must have been in the other location but she did tip me off to a shipment they were expecting early in the week.

The hulk was delivered to the store yesterday. We were just in the right place at the right time.

Jeweler_in_paradise (Instagram) and Dean helped us out.

Boaters · 21 February 2020, 06:00 AM

Nice pickup it worked out great

calh22a · 21 February 2020, 07:06 AM

Congrats! Just a dj36 isn’t bad at all to get the bundle.

scarlet knight · 21 February 2020, 07:13 AM

Do you have a picture of the DJ 36? Unless I have bad reading comprehension and missed it.
