Momentum Vortech II
I searched this watch down since the first time I saw it. The first one I saw had a stainless steel body with a full lume dial. But when I first discovered the watch, it was already out of production. I contacted the company and they let me know the movement isn't even manufactured anymore and they won't be able to make any new ones. So my only hope was to find it through 3rd party sellers. So I put an eBay search out, and after a year one popped up. But not the same one, it was a black PVD-coated one without the fully lumed dial. But this one had its own charm and had a nice thick rubber strap. So I bid and won it after 6 days of biting my nails. When I received it, I was beyond excited, but once I started to open the package, I started to smell a chocolately kind of smell, almost mocha. Only to notice the rubber straps had the smell coming from it. Apparently, Italian Rubber has a distinctive smell, and they still smell great! But I absolutely love this watch, from the strap to the titanium PVD-coated case, to the GMT & Alarm function, screw-down crown, to the seconds-subdial, it's everything I love in a watch. And from one of my favorite companies, Momentum!

I’ve never pulled the trigger on a PVD coated watch. I guess a bit concerned about how it would take any dings and desk diving rash.
Very cool watch, though - and great to land something you’ve been on the hunt for.
Well done on a successful hunt and thanks for sharing the story! It was certainly worth the wait 👌
This looks awesome! Congrats on finding it!

It's held up rather well to be honest.
