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?
Mechanical tool watches are an oxymoron. A G shock will outperform any 25k watch.
I think the term “tool watch” is more historical than describing present day use case
True, but often people market and discuss them as if they are meant to be tools. A lot of people care a lot about specs and performance and certification in regards to precision, water resistance, etc
