Thanks for explaining this Oscar. 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. ;)
Other than the cheap plating job on the bracelet, I like the watch and for the price, is an OK value. 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.
