If I could have a watch of any of these brands I'd say Patek. However I am a fan of IWC's entire collection. So IWC for me.

Omega for me. if I wasn't such a Rolex-a-holic, I would have a HUGE Omega collection (only if mamas stopped collecting, of course ). I DO like Breitlings and some of the other brands. Also, I DO own a Cartier, a SEIKO and a CASIO Diver.

Probably JLC, but also GO.

Blancpain would get an honorable mention at least.

After Rolex: Breitling, hands down. Breitling is yet another exceptional watch manufacturer with a reputable and historic standing. Moreover, all their watches are COSC approved and rated. Also, the Breitling Customer Service Center and Catalog are amazing. And, for an extremely sturdy everyday watch that contains numerous features from a 60 minute Bezel, Compass, 3 sub-dial chrono's, SS solid end links, and, a 1000FT H2O rating: Chase Durer (UDT 1000XL).

I own more Omegas than any other brand but Rolex, but I really like JLC and IWC.

For the type of watches I wear Omega gets my vote. However, I'm with Al, Blancpain is nice.

My favorite brand is A. Lange & Sohne as I own two and am really thinking hard about a number 3. Next is JLC, but alas, I don't own any model in it's lineup.

I picked Vacheron Constantin, even though I can't afford it yet. But in terms of affordable picks, I would say Omega and Breitling are pretty high on my list.

Omega, if I am not wearing my Explorer II, there is one of my Seamasters strapped to my wrist on days.
