I've owned an Oris TT1 and a Marathon GSAR. Both are very cool watches. The Oris was much nicer, in my opinion. It just had a higher level fit and finish and just felt like a more upscale watch. However, if what you're going for is the "ultimate tool watch" it's hard to beat the Marathon. It is a solid watch with a monster bezel and the bracelet is quite nice. It does kind of bug me that while all other hands and dial markers are tritium tubes, the second hand is Superluminova and gets lost in the dark after a while.
The only downside to Oris, IMHO, is that they don't hold their value that well. I took a pretty good loss on both Oris' I sold. However, that works out in your favor if you're buying used! ;)
