Having been a Daniel Mink fan for many years, I wanted to try his new brand, Renato but, wasn't sure. I finally ordered one and the jury will be out for some time. This is a limited Edition T-Rex #34 of 75. This one is done in black IP with rose gold accents on the dial and .10ct of vs diamonds on the '9". It uses an ETA 2824-2 movement and is WR to 300m. The first thing I noticed was that when the bracelet was plated it was assembled so when links are removed raw steel shows where the links were joined. Otherwise so far I like the look and the lime is fantastic. So, I'll wear it for a few days and decide if I'll buy another. Attachment: T-Rex 3 4of75.jpg (Downloaded 145 times)

Foster, I assumed you payed a pretty penny for that watch...I've gotta' wonder why you would except such shoddy plating?? At that price..or any price I would expect more from the manufacture:? Pretty cool looking thoughhand6.gif

just an FYI:D Daniel Mink the watch company and reNOtos Daniel Mink are not the same....he is the son aka Dan Minkowicz of the original owner of Daniel Mink Watch Co. but it was sold years ago to the business partners and reNOto is not associated in any way nor in the same class ...there has been a long history of problems with reNOtos finish especially with their bracelets;)...Congrats but as my WIS mentor said to me many years ago and I would like to pass on to you Clyde as you are a good guy"stay away from the made for TV watches"... :D

Not my cup of tea at all. This brand is one of the worst and Oscar has it just exactly right. Enough of the TV brands.face4.gif Its a musing you bough into the Daniel Mink inference when Renato clearly has nothing to do with any Swiss maker.

I like the aesthetics of the reNOto. It is distinctive and identifiable from the ubiquitous "Dive Watches" that are gushed over ad nauseum. The Swiss ETA movement is a plus. I've been tempted to acquire a reNOto before but have reservations concerning the manufacturing process' location and parts sourcing wishing it were more transparent. I am an owner of of several Invicta Watches which I purchased via ShopNBC TV. Some are "Swiss Made"(that's a laugh!) and some are not. I have not been dissapointed. Compared with other watches in my collection ranging from low to higher end, I find the Invictas to compare quite favorably to a turd. If the author of this post were to have posted on "Watch Freeks" he may have been received more favorably because everyone is stupid there.

Disturbing. You are correct on both accounts. Disturbing that anyone would give their $$ to the charlatans hawking reNOto.:shock:

Trust me guys, I have posted my displeasure with the bracelet finish on watchgeeks and stated that I will not be buying another. I have also been very vocal over there on the new Invicta's with the cheap movements. Can you believe a Reserve collection watch with a cheap ISA movement in it?

Jmak.....your response basically underscores what is trying to be conveyed. ....perhaps a little harshly.... I've been tempted to acquire a reNOto before but have reservations concerning the manufacturing process' location and parts sourcing wishing it were more transparent. Mink, has tryed to capitalize on his family name while keeping the above hidden to the consumer's that buy into the hype spewn by him and the bafoon on ShopNBC. If the author of this post were to have posted on "Watch Freeks" he may have been received more favorably. Of course he would have Jims job depends on it....really a silly comment since I am sure you know the connection:? Back on point.....buy what you like, but don't complain about the quality or questionable manufacture.

Good going Clyde....you should expect way more for your well earned $$$$. Plating is not rocket science...it all has to do with good quality control and it appears they don;t have it.

Feel free to specify the manufacture; as I am sure we can educate you on where exactly the product is produced and it's origin. Or are you here just to start a flame???
