 Once in a while there's a good surprise who's not hitting in the dive watch masses.
"Ichthus watches" is in the Netherlands and apparently operated by two guys : Peter and Theo.
I like the blend: Kind of marine-chronometer style dial, cathedral hands, the onion crown and specially the fact that they use the rare high-beat 6498-2 in top grade version visible through the crystal back.
The case is 45mm without crown so this is not a little baby.
There's a cool "Dutch-Made" on the dial who's not often seenThumbsUp02.gif
What else to say right now: I hope that they could come on 3T and present them watch!

Here's some pictures that I have shamelessly stolen: Well deserved guys!
Price is 920€ or about 1200$ for full version with the Swan-neck regulator.

 Those are the same movements used by Panerai before they go in-house. The price is very correct for a watch of this caliber IMO.
Over that you get something who will never go out of style and that you will not see on the next passing-by wristchickendance.gif

Seems to me from other shots that the hands are blue-flamed...
Markers might be dark blue as wellThumbsUp02.gif
Like Khronos , I really fancy the "Dutch Made" : Bright move there from the guys of Ichthus. It gives an change for collectors who are looking for a special watch.

For sure, a Thor hammer would look better but I can look at a fish with a name tatooed on his bellydog smile.gif
