Out - AP (only due to RO obsession). In - Breguet

But then again, not sure I want crowds at Breguet Boutiques
Breguet deserves podium but personally I like living in the quiet fringes

OUT - Audemars, IN - Breguet

I would let go the Royal Oak company And exactly for that reason ... If the RO would not exist the brand itself would probably be close to nothing
Yes!

Out Audemars
By: sham1 : March 30th, 2024-12:18
In A. Lange & Sohne - the consistently high quality across the entire range make this brand a natural choice. I don't even like them as I prefer Moritz Grossmann and Lang & Heyne but these are excluded by your rules.
OUT - Audemars Piguet

IN - probably Lange, but a photo finish in the race with Breguet. I think AP will undoubtedly be the supermajority OUT brand.
OUT: AP - IN: AL&S

I really despise AL&S behaviour WRT "buying history" and that kind of nonsense but I can't find another brand that can satisfy the OP's requests. Maybe Breguet can be the other choice but their style is just not for me.
Frankly

I'd say VC and AP are both out and Breguet and Lange are both in. Patek, Breguet, Lange is a better 'trinity' in my book than Patek, Vacheron, AP.
OUT: Audemars Piguet In: A. Lange & Söhne

It seems this is becoming the consensus choice, with Breguet being mentioned often too. The Grand Seiko suggestion is interesting and certainly worth considering too. My choice for ALS is based on their commitment to their high levels of finishing of thei...
out AP - in Lange
By: mblum3 : March 30th, 2024-13:58
As I was reading the responses, I can see Lange, Breguet and Grand Seiko all being good choices. The fact that the level of finish is equally good across the board in Lange is admirable. You pay for complexity. The Seiko Micro Artist Studio would be very ...
Oops.

Didn't read the rules. So the micro artist studio is out due to very small production. Lange then.
OUT: Patek. IN: Longines

Trying my best to be as blasphemous as calling any watch company part of the "Holy Trinity", especially during this week.
They All Need To Leave... that marketing list is 60 years old (1960s)
By: enjoythemusic : March 30th, 2024-15:10
Still waiting for how they were chosen, and who chose them to begin with? Answer this please. Simply stated, "What is the true criteria?" If it is sales, then Rolec, Cartier and Omega are the Holy Trinity for 2024 VC and ALS, perhaps, the others can go. B...

AP Should to go
By: ANDLIST : March 30th, 2024-19:23
AP is doing cheesy collaborations with musicians, if you can call them that. I like the Star Wheel but that’s basically it. Patek is quality but also smart supply/demand and Vacheron has history and the most interesting pieces of the last 5 years. I have ...
Out : AP. In : Breguet.

I like breguet styles , they seems have great value for money especially in secondary market. You can find a 8K gold breguet which is way nicer than a steel rolex at the same price.
Maybe AP should leave the "old" category...
By: pfang56 : March 31st, 2024-21:07
Whilst others have stuck with tried and true designs and incrementalism. If we stick with that appreciation of the traditional generation of watchmaking, ALS would be my vote to replace AP (side note: surprisingly, sales of CODE alone recently equalled AL...
So true.

UN aka Freaks that are post 2020.

These are watches that are more friendly to my wallet but most probably will never buy as it suppose to be grail to me. 😜
LOL!
