[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?

Watch nerds are usually the least underwater group of people I've ever met and NEEDING high water resistance in a watch is silly (most of the time).

200m of resistance is more than enough for the majority of people. Which makes the comments about the difference between the Pelagos and the Pelagos FXD funny to me

50m is more than enough for most people
