I agree on several listed but will throw into the mix Blancpain.

Really well made pieces and very few people have any idea about the brand

Definitely second this, My Fifty Fathoms still pulls at my heart strings after 5 years, it’s an exceptional watch imo. The Bathy is also to me one of the greatest pure tool watches ever made when sitting on a nato.

Another vote for the GO brand. Specifically the SeaQ line.

Most langes even though they are up remain a good value.

Clean 4-5 digit Rolex selling for similar money to their new counterparts.

It’s easier to tell people what to avoid at market. Anything sport Rolex, Patek, AP or RM.
I'd say most of these are way over-appreciated already, generally speaking (I know you're doing a comparison within the brands). At least in terms of price. ALS the exception

Overall there are a ton of brands that aren't recognized. GO, GS, JLC, GP are 4 very big ones. Way under valued in comparing with the hype that is going on. There are literally so many brands out there and new indies that haven't even hit the radar yet.

Breguet Marine is so under appreciated, bit small for me personally but what it does it does exceptionally well.

For the price of a fake rolex you can get a REALLY nice Seiko that's full of horology, and can be serviced, will run great.

Too many people look down on Seiko and think too high of themselves to be seen wearing one. The other day, I was having lunch with someone who had almost every Nautilus. I looked at his wrist, and what was he wearing? A Seiko.

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Flyback Chronograph in Rose Gold.

A very beautiful and durable high horology watch. I have this watch; however in Switzerland being serviced. I can't wait to get this back on my wrist.

(PS...not my photo. A photo I found from Google images)

I've always considered the VC Overseas Gen 1 Chrono as an under-rated watch. It is a lot more wearable size than the Gen 2 at 40mm and still gives you the large date that was lost in the Gen 3.

I think a lot of people dismiss this due to the earlier style bracelet and I will admit that the Gen 2/3 bracelet is iconic, but this is still a great watch at a somewhat reasonable (all things considered) price point.

I think the big date at the top of the dial is so much nicer than the current gen ones.
