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?

    Yay! Someone hit on one of my biggest pet peeves, so I get to talk about it.

    • Divers are not the most versatile watch out there.
    • There’s no reason to even buy a watch that is more than 100m water resistant unless you actually snorkel or dive.
    • Jody from Just One More Watch believes that divers are the most versatile watch and has said something along the lines that you don’t have to be a diver to wear a dive watch just like most people who wear aviation watches probably aren’t pilots. IMHO, watches should say something about you, your personality, and your interests. I want an aviation watch or two because I love aviation (even though I’m not a pilot). Are people that wear divers fans of diving even if they aren’t divers themselves? I’m going to guess there are far fewer fans of diving wear divers than fans of aviation wearing aviation watches.
