[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?

Don't really got a hot take but replying to yours.

Popular ≠ the best.

If Tudor = Poor man's Rolex.

Rolex is like the default rich man status brand, then Rolex is like the Tudor to AP, Patek etc..

I've seen at least 50 Rolexes in Hong Kong every day.

If Rolex was more affordable, wouldn't everyone would want an AP or a Patek or an IWC, a Jaeger le Coultre?
