Good spot. That is exactly where I am in that picture.

They will actually deal on price.

I buy there a lot so they usually give me some good deals.

It is all about proportion.

If everyone would just gain 100 lbs it would last forever.

Yeah, I spend a good deal of time in there. They run a pretty good shop.

Have you ever actually been there; is this an opinion based on anything factual? The sales guy that Barrister is pictured with knows a TON about all of the watches in the store. I talked Panerai with him the last time I was in there for over an hour...

I don't know what your experience has been at Tourneau, but I have always received great service there. I have also established some deep personal relationships with both prior and current management. I find your assessment of them to be wholly and completely inaccurate.

Jerry - a very close friend and the man pictured in the photo with me - was the manager at Tourneau for 10-years. Then he moved to Tiffany and was their fine jewelry manager for 5-years. While he was at Tiffany, I worked solely with Jerry on every piece that I ever purchased there - and it was more than a few. Now he is the manager at Tourneau again and it is a pleasure to still be working with him.

Over the years I have found Jerry to be THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE guy I know on watches, diamonds and jewelry in general. He is a true professional in every sense and has always treated my wife and I like family. If there is a piece I want - no matter how rare - he brings it in for me right away and at a nice discount. I have gotten to know him personally and am great friends with his wife, children and grandchildren. While I was in the hospital last year, he visited me at least once a week. He is a very fine individual.

So I think I am qualified to say that he is hardly "moronic" or "idiotic." I can also vouch for the fact that he knows a bit more than "diddly" about watches and jewelry. In fact, I would wager that Jerry has forgotten more about fine watches than most people - including you - have ever known. As an attorney, I would not hesitate to hire and call Jerry as a respected expert witness in any case involving watches or jewelry.

Sometimes it is better to look like an idiot instead of opening your mouth and removing all doubt.

Just sayin'.

Hmmm... Perhaps we can work out a trade of sorts. I have wanted one of these for a while. Is it the 42 or 45.5?
