Do you say shit like that because nobody can tell the difference between your watch and a cheap one?

Big deal… This watch also costs more than my car.

“Okay?”

I am not a friend of clever comebacks. People who point these things out are pathetic and people who get triggered by that only slightly less so.

Do have some other investmentadvice I shouldn’t heed?

A new London bus costs around £300k, so whilst is plausible that the watch cost more than my ‘car’, it’s a pretty stupid way of spending that amount of money…

“Does it keep better time than my 15 dollar digital Casio? Is it sturdier? Will it last longer? Is it more comfortable? No? So you spent a ridiculous amount of money to buy a less functional watch made out of precious essential materials just to try to impress people like me?”

Honestly though, if you want to piss watch people off, just say “Oh, it looks just like a regular watch, thanks for pointing it out”.

Damn thats a cheap watch, is it Chinese too?

My car was a present, any watch costs more than my car

“Good for you. Have a cookie. My $20 Casio tells the time just as well.”

So being rich is a fairly new thing to you? What are you gonna do when you get used to it?

“Oh, you could only afford one watch?”

Anyone who spends more on a watch than a car has poor money management. Fuck, what a waste. There’s no way any watch is worth more than $1000 other than for clout which is stupid.

You gotta understand this proving your worth by buying ridiculously expensive shit and then bringing attention to it is an attitude of “new money”

Rich people who have been rich for generations will have the same time piece but they will not even think about it. It’s granted to them, part of their life that they would never question. Like you putting on socks.

And that is the attitude that new money cannot understand. Hell that’s kind of what the great gatsby is about, new money just not getting that the expensive shit is just more furniture.

So the most frustrating thing to this mindset is to treat it as no big deal, or even weird that they would bring it up which really it is

What’s my motivation? Is there a reason why I’m listening to Alec Baldwin brag about his watch? What’s stopping me from simply walking away?

Can your watch play Bad Apple?

Can your watch run Doom?

Can you install Arch on that watch?

…

… didn’t think so 😛

You paid all that money for a watch that can’t do ANY cool stuff? You utter loser 🤣 🤣 🤣
