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. ;)

Scott the Pacha came well before the Trex and would be more compared to the Beast which was a name CZ Jim stole from the Orient Beast which was coined on the forums and came out years before reNOto was even in business....I can say owning both the Pacha and unfortunately a Beast I am stuck with although when reNOto 1st came out they were only $100. that the Pachas fit&finsh is much better and the reliabilty and service is mountains above Reanto who when he 1st went into business was answering all his complaints via a blackberry and had no office....ask Tony about a e-mail Danny Mink sent him about half-links....we still get a good laugh over that one....btw no one copied anyone...it was just a off the shelf case that many manufacturers have used and just another little white lie spewed by Jimmy and Dan Mincowicz to try and give the brand and it's owner some sort of existance :D
