This just in: Renato will debut on GILT Group tomorrow. For those not in the know, GILT is one of many "membership" sites that showcases a wide variety of designer items at a supposed discount. Some deals can be good, some...meh. At the very least, it will be interesting how the prices compare to BuyRenato before it imploded. From the announcement, we might see some scarce stock.

Membership is free with a simple email address sign-up. And no, I won't be creepy by giving my referral link as many do in Bunnyland.

Sounds like more models that were pre-buyout Renato.

I went onto the GILT site and here is what they have as Renato's bio:

Renato watches — launched in 2005 by designer Daniel Mink Renato — takes all of the attention to detail employed by traditional watchmakers and turns the volume up to 11 with bold, unconventional design treatments, colors, and fabrications. Backed by high-end components like 316L stainless steel, sapphire crystal, and precise Swiss movements, they’re the perfect way to express yourself without sacrificing quality.

As with many Internet/TV brand backgrounds, it looks like Daniel even gave himself a fictitious name!

I've always thought "the Merm" should change his last name to Croton, but most of those watches are fugly enough on their own, anyway...

Yeah...forget it!

So sad
