There are probably too many brands to name. Sometimes I think popularity is totally based on the amount of advertising dollars that are spent. Because of this, we as WIS tend to miss out on some outstanding stuff. "Out of sight out of mind" is probably the rule.

Personally I like EBEL . They are fine well made watches that have style and class. It does not surprise me to see some brands like Longines, Oris etc,etc mentioned as well.

Ball was overlooked , but not now .......Oris is undervalued ..... I love my Longines Spirit and am looking to get a Longines chocolate Vitesse later this month ......I buy a brand I see underated as I own a Limes , Ball , Oris , Longines , Titoni ...all brands I see as undervalued

I know it's heresy and a stoning offense in some circles, but I like Casio's G-Shocks.  I only have one but it sees decent wrist time, alongside my autos.  I'll get another at some point.  Yes, it's quartz and is butt ugly.  But the toughness, accuracy, multiple functions and cost are all appealing to me.

Ok, flame away :shock:

Oris is really undervalued, Steinhart  is also undervaluated;  in fact a lot  of brands  must be mentioned here... i think it is also true that a lot of brands are over rated! What do you think? any experience?
