·The persnicketiness surrounding the world calatrava. Yeah, we get it, it’s incorrect unless you’re referring to a Patek model. You know what’s more annoying than using it incorrectly? Constantly reminding people that they’re using it incorrectly.
Nah ... I think using it incorrectly is still more annoying. 😝

Annoying, but then you would have every subdial being called a Calatrava in a few years.

·Referring to anything as “Mil” unless that exact model was actually spec’d for military service.
How about every 1940s watch is: WW2 era military style. Just enough to be arguably honest, but also makes it a PITA to search for an WW2 military watch.

·Deployant = an expanding metal watch clasp joining the two parts of its strap or bracelet together.
Deployment = the act of bringing or sending resources (typically troops or equipment) to a certain position ready for action.
Next week, rocket science.
