I own a gunmetal T-rex, I think they are well built watches....They are big and heavy, mine is 298 grams you know it's on your wrist.  I have got a lot of complements on it too.

Guy I had a chance to see and hold one. A friend of my kid brother bought one for Christmas. It is not a bad watch. But to me a little over priced. If they were true Swiss I could see that price but it is up to the buyer. My brothers friend loves his and my brother is thinking of getting one. He is into the rose gold stuff. LOL :D

They are beefy and heavy and have a cool look to them. You could always get it and if you don't like it return it. ;)

Skip I agree I think they are little over priced too, the new ones go for $699 and up....I can think of better watches to get at that range....I got mine for around $450, I like mine it was an inpulse buy But I dont see myself paying that money again for another one.

Sorry to say you've lost me with this query. First its stock photos from slopnbc and already we are all the way to Renatos... BLECH. Crap, garbage and uglier than sin!! And what's with the ridiculous names?

But no matter what I think, just remember you will probably walk into a high end jewellers with you Renato Warthog on and the watchmaker there will offer you 11 kajillion dollars for it!!toon1.gif

These guys can be harsh at times. The brand is not one of their favorites.

Sorry to seem harsh. Believe me its not personal, peapaaw. I love watches , but I do not like Renatos. You can do a lot better for what you might drop on a Wilde-Cyclops-Stallion-T-Rex-Beast.

Had to take a pot shot at the ridculous names...

I actually had an OTV Beast.  I bought it more or less to see what all the fuss was about on these.  It was a decent watch, nice heft and good fit and finish.  On par with Invicta's nicer quartz offerings, IMHO.  It was the only quartz chrono I've ever owned on which all of the hands lined up with their markers perfectly.  If you can get one used for a good price I think you'd be happy with the watch if you like the style.  I agree that they're a little too pricey for what they are, though. 

... and that's all I have to say about that.
