Howdy All.
I'm really excited to have a forum where I can be a Renato fan without feeling like a red-headed stepchild. I am as disappointed as anyone about how Renato has deteriorated ove the past few years. I think that Daniel Mink has lied to and insulted the intelligence of his loyal customer base.

Having said that, I will always be a fan of Renato timepieces. I own several and I wear them often. I am as proud of my Renato collection as I am of any other watches I own. Any retail operation will say whatever they have to to get you to buy their product, and Renato is no different (or no worse). At least it will be a lot easier to swallow coming from Avi.

I am really looking forward to sharing my passion for Renato with people who understand.

I picked up the Mostro with the 7750 from the Renato website for about half of what they were selling it for on ShopNBC the other night. I have to say that it might be my favorite watch to date. That's what keeps me coming back to Renato in spite of my feelings about their business practices.
