Your 2 favorite brands

Mine are:

Clerc





I own both of the watches above. The black dial is numbered limited edition. But other than the very impressive dial work (not evident in the photo), the watches seem identical. These are fab watches with incredible bracelets, fit and finish that I've never seen exceeded, COSC certs and a unique head design. I also like that this is not a watch you will see on everyone's wrist.




This is my water "tool" watch and performs very satisfactorily. I've had it to 60 feet, used it to snorkel and taken it into the pool dozens of times. I love the fit and finish and the unique case head and smooth bezel. Excellent lume. Good bracelet (screws), but lacks dive extension (boo).

All in all a superior brand that's uncommonly cool.

Omega - Needs no explanation.


(My favorite brand for vintage is Tudor).

IMO, favorite BRAND does not necessarily mean favorite WATCH. Again, IMO, if something is your favorite BRAND, you may have more than one watch from the maker. So my favorite BRANDS go like this...

I still think Zodiac is a GREAT brand, just wish they would give us more 3-hand and automatic movements...





I also like Hamilton a great deal...

2 brands that I don't own are Seiko and Breitling.
2 brands I do own are Zodiac and Ocean 7

Omega

Seiko

This is VERY hard for me because I tend to like a TON of watches !!!
However..without a doubt..my favorite IS Zodiac..there is just something
about them ! Great variety to choose from, excellent styles, good prices,
well built, unique watches that always seem to be impressive in person !
I also like seeing what might be coming next from them !..The second
choice would be a close race between Hamilton and Oris..WITH Hamilton
coming out on top ! Mainly for alot of the same reasons I like Zodiac.
Hamilton has amazing variety, well built, exciting styles with an exceptional
history !..I really enjoy brands that have many different looks to choose
from and also combine quality and design with value !

Breitling and Omega!! would love another Rolex (deep sea) and a Panerai but it not in the cards!! Favorite brand to play with tear apart and try to put back together Seiko!!!

Breitling and Omega

From the ones I own, I'll go with the same two as Trevor.
Ones I don't (yet, maybe) Rolex and Seiko, probably. I just like too many...

Breitling is my favorite brand I do not own.

I also like Oris very much.

. . . in a time of change right now.

The makes I own would be . . . . Seiko and Zeno.

That I don't own would be . . . Omega and Panerai.

Interesting question.

Right now I really only have one brand that I'm really excited about and thats Steinhart. I've yet to recieve my new Nav-B but so far the customer service that I've received from Gunter has been fantastic. He has gained a long time customer and I'm already scrambling to find funds for my next.

I really like Omega. I've never had a problem and currently own 2.


I also cannot fathom life without Invicta.
The brand has amused and entertained me for years and I don't know how I would have survived on the forums for all these years without them.
I still own 4,I believe.

2 that I own, Seiko and NFW, 2 that I would like to own, Sinn and Omega.

Seiko is clearly my favorite brand - I own 8 of them right now. 3 ISO Divers, 2 7s non divers, 2 vintage, and a 6r15b Spirit.

I have a lot of Swiss Army and Mido watches as well. I really think you get a LOT for your money with each of them.

JLC and Omega ..own Omega but not JLC....

That I own: Zodiac and Invicta. I still love the Invictas i have left, but the brand as a whole isn't too high on the list...

THat I want: IWC and Oris. Have never touched an IWC but I love their designs. Oris quality feels amazing and worth every dollar...all of em...

Breitling
Panerai or Rolex Deep sea not sure yet..

stowa or omega and doxa

Just can't get past the SDDS tapered bracelet...IMO it really sucks! I tried one on twice and it would constantly swing to the side of my wrist...way too top heavy for that kind of bracelet!!

It would be totally awesome with a non-tapered watch!!!!

Hamilton & Seiko

For the ones I own, see my sig

For those I don't, I would have to say Omega and Doxa

I have to add Hamilton despite the bad experience I had. I guess I'm up to 5 now,
I am so sorry for not keeping it to 2.

Two that I own..Citizen and Tag Heuer
Two that I wish I did..Blancpain and Longines(don't own a modern one anyway)
