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?
Hamilton and all field watches are dork watches
Longines is not that great and only pushed on Reddit for some unknown reason
I’ll give you credit for really giving a hot take.
Why do you personally dislike Longines though? Swiss brand, long heritage, and tasteful design language (gives Cartier/JLC design notes imo)
I agree Longines is dreadful
I wouldn’t say necessarily pushed on Reddit. Lots of watch YouTubers big and small love Longines, and theres a reason for It.
Lmao, “dork watch” is the perfect characterization for field watches.
I’m imagining them all posting on /r/edc and delicately staging their Hamilton khaki next to their knife, paracord keychain and waterproof “Field Notes” notebook
It does lmao! Like, “What? You need all those numbers and fat hands just to tell the time? Time to take off the training wheels there, sport!”
I agree, and I own a Longines. But I don’t get all the fangirling over the same 3 boring models.
I don’t have a Hamilton and really don’t want one, but I’m interested in what the definition of a “dork watch” is. Would you mind elaborating?
