Hi Mike,

I would say Rolex is the true Leica of wristwatches from a hold it's 
value over time standpoint. From a quality standpoint Patek and Lange 
and Sohn for cases, IWC for SS, titanium, gold and platinum bracelets 
and the technical ability to work with titanium. Patek has long been 
recognized as the finest watch case maker of all time but in a relative 
short period of time (imho) Lange and Sohn have caught up with Patek.

Regards,

Greg
