My vote goes for my Omega DayDate Speedmaster. If same complications are on a Patek then its justified for crazy $$$.
I end up having a conversation with this watch more than a Rolex on wrist.
I just love my watch which is way underrated and under priced.

Agree on the SM, a great watch. I wore a vintage 1966 SM 300 for years in my rotation. One of the few watches I flipped that I really miss.

The 16570 Polar is underrated. An easy to wear, versatile watch that goes with everything and can work for just about any activity.

My most underrated watch is similar to yours, Seth...IMO, Omega now represents what Rolex used to be...durable, good-looking, timeless tool watches that are attainable, well-made and represent a good value for the money. My wife bought me this one for our anniversary last year and I LOVE it.

I would tend to agree that Seiko and many of their models are under rated.

Casio MR-G

The recent MR-G cases are made in the same factory that makes Grand Seiko cases. The module in MR-G are sometimes upgraded from regular Casio.

e.g. The 5068 module used in MRG-8100 / 8150 (below) has 18k gold plated internal for improve atomic sensitivity and operation efficiency.

The machining, fit and finish are at least as good, if not better than higher end Seiko (not quite Grand Seiko though), yet Casio claims MR-G are tested to the same toughest level of resin cased G-Shocks.

Underrated or not, I love my burgundy Black Bay. I also think the Longines Master Collection has some really great watches that offer tremendous value, especially at that price point.

I have been reading up on the new Baume and Mercier movement, the Baumatic. Once that is released, it may be one to add to the under-rating list, as to date, their watches been more "show than go". Would throw Tissot and their Powermatic 80 on the list as well.

Agree with the Milgauss. I wear it more than my AP and even after a year of owning it, the awe hasn't worn off!
