1/ Watches should always be worn on the left wrist and winders should always be on the right side of the watch.
People who don't comply are just being awkward and trying to be different, and manufacturers of watches that don't comply are just pandering to them... so STOP IT!
2/ Seiko's are OK but are basically still a cheap watch, even when priced high.
Some people are just seeking attention
Don't give a toss what watch was first up Everest.
With very few exceptions, Hamilton watches are snore-inducingly boring
Beads of rice watch bracelets (especially those TAG ones) - nothing shouts “shonky bling” - louder
I’ll risk upsetting the Tudor fanboys - snowflake hour hands. Who decided to bung a square at the end of the hand and not even put it on straight.
Tag don't really deserve the hate they get from WIS.
Actually, neither do I! Really can`t get excited about who wore what and when, seems irrelevant to me.
Same applies to Omega and all the moon shite, it's been done to death several times over and it's pathetic the way they're still trying to milk it in their advertising 50+ years later.
Bremont?.........I don`t care about that aeroplane crap from the past, doesn`t stop their watches looking shite in my opinion.
70s ultra-thin watches are cool.
1) I would not wear a Nautilus unless you paid me.
2) You could not pay me enough to wear an Aquanaut.
You should always make up a stupid nickname for any Rolex model
Always call the professional models sports
The Rolex Explorer is boring, the 36mm is too small, and the Tudor Ranger looks like a kids Timex.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Some people actually have big wrists and like a larger watch

Rolex is the Porsche 911 of the watch world - lazy design engineering, based on a 50 year old model.
Germany is the new Switzerland of watch engineering.
I don't care how wonderful the finishing is on a Grand Seiko, they still look like the watch my dad wore in the seventies.
A plastic watch should never cost more than £50.
Bronze watches sound like they should be cool, but there's a very good reason that they've never been popular - the 'patina' just makes them look like you've been digging the garden with them.
"In house movements" on mid-range Swiss brands are a modern preoccupation that has the square root of sweet F.A to do with quality and everything to do with image.
Ex Rolex owners have a tendency to become as insufferable as ex smokers and ex meat eaters, and no your micro-brand kumsplashen hydra kraken ocean depth charger IV is not "better".
The more it costs the harder it is to tell the time on. Especially when well into 6 figures and made by a Frenchman called Richard
Oh and if the designs were made by Invicta they'd be laughed at

I really dislike the modern Daytonas... I just don't get the attraction, or the ridiculous cost. The horizontally off-centre 3 & 9 sub dials, would drive me nuts, the original Zenith powered versions were much more pleasing on the eye IMO

I really dislike the jubilee bracelet especially on the GMT
The best looking 5 digit GMT is on oyster with a black bezel.
As long as it has a serif insert.

Reading the chronograph on a Speedmaster is hard work.

Chrongraph watches are most often used for timing your boiled egg.
Quartz (and to a degree Spring Drive) is the only real horological advancement over the past 60 years. Mechanical watch 'progress' is basically rehashing 18th century technology.
Every AP watch outside of royal oak has been a failure and that includes code 11.59

Did have a quick thread search to see if this has come up already and not sure how unpopular this opinion is..
Fully lumed bezels are tacky as fk
and (didn't search this one)
watches with a date window between the 4 and 5 hour markers look like overpriced at $8, aliexpress tat
WIS's are plain argumentative. They would fight over a sheet of toilet paper.
FTFY
