Like Invicta' VULTURE - Seen MOMO's ??? ...
I've been aware of MOMO's (GREAT Watch) DESIGNS for quite awhile! ... ... And knew WA-AAAY back when I purchased my "Vulture" 2894 Chrono, ...
... ... that they had 'something eerily similar' ~ with a Valjoux 7750 ...
...
_______________________________ ⌘ _______________________________ But, since, at the time, their 7750 was $2100 and Invicta's 2894 was (less than) $800 ... ... for me, the "Vulture" with it's svelte (37) 'Jewel Of A Movement' was a no-brainer! ...
_______________________________ ⌘ _______________________________ Still, ALL the while, I've known that MOMO's great Designs were available 'WAY OVER THE POND!' ...
... ... but, today, when I linked over www.momodesign.com, I was TOTALLY 'blown away!' ...
... ... IF you like "Vultures", you're gonna LOVE Momo's Linea PILOT Designs - BOTH Auto's & Quartz! ...

Sir Larry it is lovely but I like the Sea Vulture better. Ive always thought it was the most under rated of all the Reserve Invicta timepieces __________________

Tell me about it! ... But, Gahsh, maybe things DO 'go better' in Tuscany! ...
... ... BTW, for some reason, their website's 'I' doesn't generate ANY (movement) INFO ...
... ... but that still didn't stop me from looking at their beautiful 'Pilot Linea' AUTO Chrono's! ...

It had the sapphire crystals, awesome movements, IP titanium case, and superluminova as promisedthe best of the best in materials. morrison2951 View Public Profile Send a private message to morrison2951 Find all posts by morrison2951 Add morrison2951 to Your Contacts #8 Today, 04:35 AM

When the Sea Vulture first came out it sold for $2800. I feel sorry for someone if they actually paid that price. I actually paid $1300 for mine, and looking back that seems about $700-$800 too high...considering I had to order it three times before I got one that didn't have a crooked dial, and a working date wheel. Reserve Collection?? Sapphire crystal that was used wasn't exactly top notch either. Guess there is a reason why Momo's is 2K, and the SV can be had for under $800.00. I am a big fan of the Sea Vulture. Love the look, and the 47mm case is a great size. But after all of the issues I had, it soured me a little on the reserve line. bamind View Public Profile Send a private message to bamind Find all posts by bamind Add bamind to Your Contacts #11 Today, 05:29 AM

I'd take the Momo hands down! What a comparison though Larry, they really do look eerily similar as you mentioned tkromer View Public Profile Send a private message to tkromer Send email to tkromer Find all posts by tkromer Add tkromer to Your Contacts #13 Today, 05:37 AM

Absolutely love it. But, I was/ am a fan of the Sea Vulture. Invicta should resurrect it and improve that buckle issue. __________________

Definitely SWEET! I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I'm tired of rubber but I'd buy it ether way. BUT my preference would definitely be the bracelet. __________________

I had no idea these guys made watches. Seen the auto accessories for years, but what a surprise when you click on that link.

As much as I LOVE my Sea Vulture Auto Chrono (it's my personal favorite Invicta out of the ones I still own), I have to say that that Momo Design is incredible! I'm definitely going to be seeking one of these out to see in person! Thanks Larry, I hadn't seen this one yet! They have a great pdf catalog of all of their offerings here: http://www.momodesign.com/pdf/2010_orologi.pdf __________________ Eric. emathieu View Public Profile Send a private message to emathieu Find all posts by emathieu Add emathieu to Your Contacts #20 Today, 08:06 AM

Thanks for the comparison photos and upon further review I still give the nod to the SV as well.
