[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?

I hate the terms "tool watch" and "GADA". GADA sounds stupid and tool watch should be only used to describe things like Casios and such, not $8000 Rolex Explorers.

I love the Tudor GMT and don't think it's too chunky at all.

Grand Seiko is fucking up their good reputation with all the mental masturbation and releasing 100 different nature inspired dials per year. They are turning into the insufferable IPA Guy of watches. And they need to put micro-adjustment on all of their bracelets or I will never buy another one.

Agree. Hate how they don't have it.
