[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?

Bro I don't understand why people like the PRX 😭

The design is just revolting to me. I get that it's got good quality and a good movement and such, but most integrated steel sports watches just look terrible to me.

The movement isn’t good. It’s a throwaway with plastic escapement (that does break) and dear god is it ugly. I’ve never liked the look of the 2824, and the C07.111 just makes it worse. It’s accurate when it’s new I guess?

I have one and I love BUT, the lume is pathetic. Might as well NOT if it’s gonna be like that

Broooo I know right. I thought my watch was defective until I learned the lume is just crap.
