[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?

The posts asking whether their watches are genuine or asking what kind of watches they are aren't that bad.

The amount of posts with a wrist shot and a simple comment about how much they like the watch vastly outnumber the amount of people who come here looking for help, and I'd argue that the only real value that the wrist shot posts provide is making me aware of watches I didn't know about, which isn't many as most people have pretty basic tastes so you see a lot of the same watches on here. I think the "is this fake" posts are actually more interesting as I'm almost hoping it's real just to see an interesting, rare, old watch.
