[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).

What if I get caught in the rain? I’m too fat to run and too poor to own a car.

The werewolf subset can hide their watch under their arm fur. At least that's what I do

I got caught in the rain whilst wearing my Speedy one day last year (rated to 50M WR), so posted a pic of it with raindrops on the dial on the Omega sub and jokingly asked if I should throw it away now. The amount of replies suggesting that I should do stuff like put it in a bowl of rice was depressingly hilarious.
