In the spirit of the “what’s overrated” thread, what are some things that you consider underrated…things which have not earned the accolades you think they deserve?
Seiko Watches
Italian beer
American beer
Japanese Fuji Apples
Vietnam (as a sightseeing destination)
Rush (the band)
Boiler Room (movie)
Event Horizon (movie)
Kids in the Hall (former Canadian TV show)
Dentistry (as a profession)
L-Taurine taken as a relaxant
Cuban Presses
The Leg Press machine
Steamed pumpkin as a carb source
Chilean Wine
Seiko has a reputation for quality but is never mentioned alongside brands like Tag/Omega/Breitling/etc. It seems to be considered a mid-range, “nice but not THAT nice” watch. Even here in Japan. IMO, high-end Seiko watches are world-class

Yes, she’s been asking for it, and “Ling-Ling” was just the Panda to give it to her.
Nothing like a little bit of bamboo to put them in the mood.
