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?

NATO straps aren't that good

Not only they are not good, they are not even that comfortable as they claim. Any decent leather or rubber strap will wear much more comfortably. The biggest issue with it is how it goes underside the watch and effects how the watch is supposed to sit on the wrist. If you really like the look on a watch you can do much better with the elastic loops that don't go under the watch. If you want to have the option to change the strap quickly just get straps with quick release. The only thing they excel at is that you can just chuck them into the washing machine to get them cleaned
