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?

Mmm plenty of people work near large magnets and the metas cert guarantees protection from 15000 gauss, or an MRI. And the fact that each cased up watch gets in water resistance tested is a plus.

I mean… sure but if that’s your use case due to work then you’re probably better served by a digital Casio than a luxury dive watch. I could time my lifts at the gym with the bezel on my SMP but I still use an Apple Watch for that because it’s a better fit for the job.
