[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?

Everything that youtube reviewers crack on aren't that important. If every watch had a sapphire crystal, an adjustable clasp, 200m WR with a screw down crown, was "value for money" and had good lume... well, we'd all be wearing a dive watch from a microbrand.

I like the variety of watches out there.

This description is way to accurate describing the cheap (albeit quality) Chinese homage dive watches. My Heimdallr Sharky feels attacked
