No need to trouble yourself. I have found this to be quite instructional and will confine my remarks to praising timepieces on the "approved list".

Interesting to see how a recommendation given with honesty, can turn that way:shock:!!! Some people have very sensitive feelings here... Well, what do I know anyway since I like to spend $500 plus for a German-esque sounding watch manufactured I don't know where with a Japanese movement... Sory, I couldn't resist  Last edited on Mon Oct 5th, 2009 09:01 pm by DM71 |

I always wondered why the Daniel Mink brand seemed to be a respected brand and renoto not. I like the look of the trex but just could never get past the brand(this coming from someone who has many invictas :shock:) I guess the reason I like the trex is it looks alot like an Oceanaut Pacha. BTW, I always wanted to know, which came first? The Pacha or the trex? Seems like some copying went on there? Clyde, If that watch isnt perfect out of the box, send it back. Even all of my black ip Invicta's had a great finish when they arrived and are still looking great. For what you spent demand better. ;)

The finish is fine, just done cheaply, though the watch as a whole is quite good quality. It's a keeper but, I won't be buying another. I was unaware that this was the son but, I think his designs do have some merit. I just wish that the product matched the hype that preceded it.

Enjoy your watch Cfoster. It certainly has a striking, unique look and will likely garner positive comments for that reason, and that's something that all WIS can agree on being happy to receive! I appreciate that respectful knowledgeable WIS spoke up here with valuable REAL information that I'm sure many were unaware of. I learned something for sure...

Attention Site Owner This post has been altered and another was deleted. Feeling a bit disadvantaged here what with the uneven playing field. jmakaiju wrote: 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.

At least that watch doesn't pretend to be anything it is not. I believe that brand you are inferring has always been straight up about exactly what it is and has a number of devotees who can attest to its quality. If you don't know where it it manufactured then you simply haven't read the dedicated forum. The Renato is the worst in that it leads you to believe your are buying into and exclusive club of ultra luxury watch owners while the reality is that it is not ultra-luxurious or even of superior quality. This is ridiculous.

You are a stand up guy who realizes I am not attacking you but the brand as it isn't at all what it claims to be and the crappy plating on your watch is proof positive. You have so many sweet watches... why accept this one that isn't right at all? face4.gif
