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?

    Panerai should be commended for never faltering or compromising on their wild fucking design language.

      I’m a fan of the look but not their internals. After seeing how bland the movement looks, I’ve been turned off

      Agree and disagree. I think it’s admirable that Panerai has kept to it’s iconic design. But I think they could have done that while releasing additional lines and options.

      Keep the original Panerai line as it is as the main line, and release a additional line for GADA sports watch, chronograph, dress watch, and etc. They don’t need to do all of that, but they should at least have more than one look to the brand in general. Right now Panerai is a very stuck one trick pony.(though admittedly it’s a cool trick)
