My rating based on aesthetic preference.

Rolex
Panerai
PP
JLC
VC
AP
Omega
IWC

Just my personal preference based on aesthetics (model design) and no offence meant to anyone's own preference

Token74 · 14 November 2013, 05:38 PM

The list doesn't include Bremont, so I'm boycotting this one!

kenn18 · 14 November 2013, 05:46 PM

1. Rolex
2. Rolex
3. Rolex
4. Rolex

Because I like the 4 Rolexes that I have!

padi56 · 14 November 2013, 05:52 PM

These types of threads are quite meaningless as each persons rankings are totally different.Myself only rank whatever I have got on my wrist at that time as I must have ranked it high to buy it.How do you rank a watch by its price, resale value, brand image as many today just wear a brand etc.Myself don't rank any watch as they all have there place in this horological world from the so called low end to the so called high end.

springer · 15 November 2013, 12:05 AM

My ranking is based on the best value for the price.

1) Patek Phillipe
2) Rolex
3) Ademars (tie)
3) Vacheron Constantin (tie)
4) Panerai
5) Jeager Le Coultre
6) IWC
7) Omega

landroverking · 15 November 2013, 12:10 AM

I would rank them as the OP did. Not much wrong with that order. Of course lots of Rolex homers are not going to buy into Rolex being 5th or 6th.

jokr82 · 15 November 2013, 12:15 AM

1-PP
2-VC
3-AP
4-JAEGER LE COULTRE
5-OMEGA(HISTORY, QUALITY)
6-ROLEX
7-IWC
8-PANERAI

SearChart · 15 November 2013, 12:13 AM

I love Rolex but it's not very high on my list, PP, AP and JLC are much higher on my list.

mike@ec · 15 November 2013, 12:28 AM

PP
AP
JLC
rolex
Omega
IWC

How I think of them in terms of watchmaker:

PP
VC
AP
JLC
IWC
ROLEX
OMEGA
PANERAI

In order of what I would buy:

AP
PP
ROLEX
JLC
PANERAI
OMEGA
IWC
VC

yld2rob · 15 November 2013, 12:35 AM

1. PP
2. VC
3. JL
4. Rolex
5. Omega
6. IWC
7. Panerai

Left out AP. They do not really appeal to my taste and I have not done much research on them.

benlee · 15 November 2013, 12:54 AM

There's many ways to rank, depend on what's your criteria.

In terms of horological and watch-making capability.

1. JLC tie with PP
2. VC
3. AP
4. IWC
5. Rolex
6. Omega
7. Panerai

in terms of prestige, image and desirability

1. PP
2. AP
3. Rolex
4. VC
5. IWC
6. JLC
7. Panerai
8. Omega

but in terms of what I like, which is actually highly subjective

1. Rolex
2. IWC
3. AP
4. PP
5. JLC
6. VC
7. Omega
8. Panerai

rolio · 15 November 2013, 12:59 AM

Vincent65 · 15 November 2013, 12:52 AM

No!

RRGHOST1 · 15 November 2013, 03:41 AM

There are other makes other than Rolex........you learn something every day !

69mach351 · 16 November 2013, 01:26 AM

In terms of what I would buy and wear....
1. Breitling and Rolex
2. Paneria
3. Omega

Threw a curve ball in there. AP, PP, and some of the others are nice, and I appreciate the craftsmanship, but realistically, I wouldn't see myself buying and wearing them. The ones I did rank, I was able to rank because I know there are specific watches that I have purchased, and are waiting to purchase.

FeelingTheBlues · 16 November 2013, 01:30 AM

They're all very good brands, I'm afraid I'm not into ranking names though as whenever one has an advantage over another it also has a bad side to compensate. There's no best brand, only big categories of watches.
