There are a few actually that I have past over for others. But I like Longines also. :cool:

Will have to look back and see what yours are. sucky photobucket is only rendering the red X right now. :?

But here are 2 that have caught my eye a few times in the past. ;)

CJ has that Longines and it is very sweet. I keep passing by Oris, Omega and Breitling. Wanted one of these this year and ended up instead with an Alpina and a Fortis which just seemed a touch more eclectic.

Still want an Oris, Omega and Breitling...

I do think Oris is the most underrated of a ll the major watch brands!

I vote also for Oris as being a seriously overlooked/underrated brand.

Unfortunately, all I am seeing are the red X, but I do think that Glycine is a seriously under-rated brand!

I'm not sure if Ball qualifies as an under rated or overlooked brand as they are gaining popularity, but I am finding that the quality and design of their product line is oustanding.  I recently got my third Ball, a Engineer Hydrocarbon Mad Cow, and it is without a doubt the best made, most robust and solid feeling piece I've owned (tied with the Ball Alligator). 

Oris has been on my radar latley too, especially the Regulateur 1000m.  Lastly, Stowa deserves a mention here too.  As far as quality and apparent customer satisfaction, they seem to be pretty high.  Just waiting for my Prodiver to arrive.

I can't see Tony's selections either!!

Mark I like your point about Ball. They make a truly stunning product which far surpasses the expectations placed upon them at their price points. They do seem to be on the rise.
