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 seen  What else to say right now: I hope that they could come on 3T and present them watch! http://www.ichthus-watches.com/?lang=en 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.    |

I like this very much Will - including the "Dutch Made" inscription! |

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 wrist  |

Markers might be dark blue as well 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. |

Really classic and well done for sure with the top grade 6498.  I'm partial to that cream/white dial which is a real beauty! |

I love everything about these watches.......except the way they have executed the name / logo on the dial. Distracts from the classy look and feel of the watch. Almost a corporate branded piece at first glance...... Only my 2cents worth...... |

Almost a corporate branded piece at first glance...... The logo don't disturb me at all: Gives a change in fact. I like it because it's not too classy: I don't want to have a watch who makes me feel like I need to wear a smoking with it. I remember this /Olivier/ diver as an exemple. This name on the dial was just out of the context for me: Like a rose logo on a boxing sweater... The Ichthus looks a bit like a K.M watch and it need a slice of rough logo IMO. |

Nice ones, William. Hard to decide between the whiet dial and the black one but the black one wins by 1 decimal point for me. |

Enjoy the deal! Those come without Swan-neck: The Swan-neck option is available for a reasonable price added. This is straight from the guys who own the brand. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ICHTHUS-WRISTWATCH-WITH-UNITAS-ETA-6498-2-TOP-GRADE-HIGH-BEAT-MOVEMENT-/110994940097?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item19d7d060c1 |
