That a good one, being trying to find these kind of info since FHS stop publishing( or maybe i did not search hard enough) it few years back. Looks like top three still the same for almost a decade and wonder when Rolex hitting the million mark... Interesting TAG falls way below PAM although TAG watches are getting more pricier compare to the past. Tks for sharing dude.

COSC is so passe - wonder why rolex, breitling and omega still diligently sending their movements to COSC
higher tier like patek, AP, panerai with inhouse movement already stop sending to COSC

COSC means crap all really.... there are higher standards around, perhaps these top 3 would not even pass that.

e.g.
COSC = Only 15days / 360hrs test.
Grand Seiko Purposely Exceed all COSC minimums and is 17 days testing.
Select J.L.C. watches = 1000 Hours testing / over 40 days.
Geneva Seal (Poinçon de Genève)

Plus COSC test the movement only.... Not the final assembled watch.
