Two that surprised me most are Hublot at 12 (would’ve thought lower) and Tudor at 17 (would’ve thought higher).

a lot of watch snobs hates hublot but they are marketing genius and the general public likes them, theyve been hovering in the same place for years now
similar to tag, watch enthusiast arent fond of them but the general public sees Rolex > Omega > Tag and in some cases, Omega = Tag
tudor is in the right spot, they have a handful of watches that are waitlisted but after a few months the hype dies down and then the rest of their models just sit in the cases

and 
at IWC
was just talking with some about this too, the new overpriced ingenieur just became available at AD, it used to be a boutique exclusive and they kept on insisting its always meant to be but it wasnt because they got a backlash from a lot of ADs when it was announced and now its not selling at retail in boutiques so they got to move em to ADs now so they can salvage it and make some sales
and now look at where they are:
This decline is attributed to the brand’s increasingly mispositioned pricing, despite launching compelling new products, such as the revived Ingenieur watch, the retail prices remain ambitious. Direct competitors like Omega and Breitling offer more competitive value propositions.

An analysis of specialty watchmakers at Richemont
Within Richemont, the performance of specialty watchmakers varied, with three brands—Vacheron Constantin, A. Lange & Söhne, and Van Cleef & Arpels—gaining market shares. However, a significant concern for the division is IWC, which experienced a 13% decline in sales, estimated at CHF 726 million.This decline is attributed to the brand’s increasingly mispositioned pricing, despite launching compelling new products, such as the revived Ingenieur watch, the retail prices remain ambitious.

Finally gave up the Apple Watch for good and shifting away from G-Shocks for some timepieces. Picked this up over the weekend and absolutely love it Nixon Sentury. Does anyone else prefer their watches tight on their wrist with absolutely little to no movement at all?

Good outcome but risky move. Insure it and give it up when robbed. That’s the right move. No need to risk your life for a watch

Sad thing is even when you give everything up 9 times out of 10 you still lose your life

Also got the call...
...to pick up my 15202BA.
I still dislike AP, but yellow gold jumbos hit different.
Pics once it's on my wrist.

Good call all around.
