[Discussion] What are your hot takes or opinions you haven't yet posted for fear of downvoting? (alien.top)

In a post from a few days ago, I noticed that someone mentioned that they were afraid to post about their dislike of the Tudor BB58 for fear of downvoting. You know what? The BB is a boring watch that's not worth the money, and Tudor wouldn't be half as popular as it is without the connection to Rolex. If Rolexes were as attainable as they were in past years, cut that by a factor of 10. Would you really buy a BB if the reality were that you could just save a little bit more and get a Rolex Submariner? That's my hot take. What's yours?

Smaller watches look good on men and the idea that a watch needs to be the right size is ridiculous. When people ask "is this watch to small?" my answer will always be no. 36mm and 34mm watches look great too, especially dressier options.

Stop worrying, if you love the watch and dial wear it.

Agreed. Saw someone wearing an IWC Portugieser recently and the large case just made what should be a nice looking dress watch look tacky.
