[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?

Same. For some reason, I always found the metal door jamb (around the magnetic lock) at ATM booths with my watch.

Oh Hardlex, I hardly knew ya.

I guess now its just an indicator of quality for me if they use sapphire - as it isn't expensive. It's just not cheap like mineral.

Bought a great looking Dufa meca-quartz, but returned it as soon as I discovered the domed crystal wasn't sapphire. That's just begging for trouble.
