This seller has 2 of these watches. If I was him I would sell one and keep the other. Sweet timepiece.

Been a long time. Still like and miss Renato
 
Gotta give Daniel credit he had some beautiful and aggressive designs.
 
And very reasonably priced back then, I was always amazed at how much watch you got for the money, thought they could have asked for more, Vulcan and Cougar were my favorites.
 
Does anybody remember what this one was going for back then. The seller has 2 of these watches now. One for $2,150 or make an offer, and $2,450 or make an offer.
 
Yea, that one(s) is/are a winner(s) lol They made great watches
 
I've always felt that comparing the "Big 3," Invicta, Renato, and Android / Aragon, I always felt Renato had the nicest watch. The build always looked and felt the highest quality, they always used threaded screws instead of pins in the bracelets. Most were dual deployment butterfly style clasps, which in my opinion, although they don't size as well look 10 times nicer on the wrist.
The Collector price has certainly jumped on specific pieces like the stallion and Cyclops.
If you want to add a renato in the collection but don't want to break the bank, the quartz buzo 52 is a very comfortable larger timepiece due to the tapering bracelet. The T-Rex and wildebeest models can be found very affordably also, especially if you're not into the larger watches, I just felt they lacked a certain "beef."
 
I have about 20 Renato's and even though I really love them I've had three that the quartz movements completely crapped out after a few years. The innards of the these pieces isn't the highest of quality when cracked open. Beautiful watches though. Even though this is an auto, I wouldn't pay that price he wants in no, way, shape, or form. Don't care if it's never been worn or not. Big price mark up on a brand that realistically holds no real cache in the watch world. Money can be much better spent elsewhere and I like the watches. I would top out at one grand for this piece and probably still would pass. If I tried to sell all 20 of my Renato's on ebay I'd be lucky to get the asking price of this piece.

This guy tries to get as much as he can. Look at all his timepieces. I bought my Rose/black Mostro 7750 watch off of him and was surprised to make a deal from him. He does have some nice Renato watches though. I still can't believe he has another one of these watches in new condition. I wonder where he got it from. I almost won this particular watch on Ebay quite a few months ago and lost by $10.00
 
Those Mostro's could've been had for less then $650 when Renato was going under. I love the watches but the prices he's asking is way over valuing a brand that holds no status in the watch world. He gets what people are willing to pay which is fair. I just bought a Hamilton Khaki Below Zero V7750 watch at Ashford yesterday for $799 that is a much better made watch, with a kind of similar case style to the Vulcan(which I like and have two versions of). I like the Renato, just don't see it as anymore then a watch in the $750 to 1 grand range new or not. That said if you get a deal you are comfortable with, then you will love the piece. Best of luck in scoring one if you are needing one in your collection.
 
I must have owned well over a dozen Renato Vulcans over the years - several 3-hand autos, a Valgrange, an Ana-digi, two-tone big date MOP, many 251.272 quartz in different colors - none remain in the collection. The Vulcan to me is a work of art - but it just was not something that I reached for in the watch box to wear. As I try to keep the collection relatively manageable with only pieces that see wrist time, I let those beauties go over the years. May try to add one again down the road.

Same here, sold off most of mine because they weren't getting the wrist time, not a knock on Renato, I sell a lot of other brands out of my collection because they weren't getting the wrist time either.

Not really, but I do like that Vulcan, but not at his prices.

I really like mine but for some reason I don't wear them often enough. They look great when I pull one out, then it goes back into the witness protection program not to be seen for long periods of time. Can't bring myself to sell them, but I probably should.
