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?
Talk about a hot take! I like it. I don’t agree, necessarily, but I like that you had the forum to express this. It’s true though, original designs are held up to have intrinsic value simply because they were “the first”. That alone doesn’t mean it’s inherently better.
