So was in the mood to start a poll.
These are brands that I don't own, but always looking at.
- Oris
- Eterna
- Frederique Constant
- Raymond Weil
And to give more context, I prefer the 40mm or smaller dress style watches from these guys.
General examples like:
So curious to get the opinions from the community, especially those that have a first hand experience as owners.
If I had to get something from just one brand, which brand?
Or is there another brand that I'm overlooking entirely?

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Re: Opinion on various brands
I don't have experience with all these brands, so I think it's unfair to cast a vote.
I have one small FC and several auto and quartz RWs, which I love mightily. I would add Maurice Lacroix to the mix.
That Eterna is really nice--BUT the Oris just knocks my socks off (what model is it?)

Re: Opinion on various brands
I don't have any experience with any of them, but can say I've not seen anything from those brands that ever interested me.
I remember a few years ago when the Oris Heritage 65 was real popular. I tried one on at a local dealer. I was extremely unimpressed and remember thinking to myself I wouldn't have traded one of my Seikos even for it.

Thanks for the feedback [mention]The Sultan of SoWhat[/mention].
I am familiar with ML, as I own an Aikon quartz. And bought a Pontos Reserve de Marche that I didn't care for IRL, but got it through ToM so stuck with it for now.
Good suggestion though
I just picked a random Oris Artelier model on a Google image search.
That one was from Joma
