They are:

Prices vary, but with the ISK in the tank many of their models would be in his range or less. I have had them do some custom work for me and would be happy to put anyone in touch, or you can email them for prices.

Kind regards,

Of course. It has "the Look." It Looks twice as good when you wear it with a Tom Ford suit.

Are you on crack? They're nearly half the price.

Those are both Stowas - it's a photo from their website.

The Stowas are nicer than the Archimedes. Better fit and finish on the case, hands, dials, and movements. Stowa is also an original maker of the flieger. That's not to say the Archimede is a bad watch. Ickler is a fine maker. Both are excellent values at their price point, but there is a difference.

Kind regards,

The Stowas start around $620USD. This doesn't seem like much to me. You posted ones in the 500's.
