i like AP but i would not put them at #1. I think if patek gets sold people will reevaluate the whole idea of being independent. ALS moves up to #1, Patek/AP at #2 or #3 and it is interchangeable. I cant think of any reason besides the independent thing as to why ALS isnt in the top 2 now as resale has nothing to do with the watch but its the big drawback now as well as non independent.

Rolex is no where near the top of a HH list. Maybe best overall brand lists i would put them in the top 5, but not a HH list.
